A charity which fights food poverty and waste by redistributing donated food to charities and community groups.

About us

FareShare North East provides perfectly good surplus food to local community groups in the North East of England. This food, donated by both retailers and producers, would normally go to waste. Food is delivered to the FareShare North East warehouse, and then either delivered to or picked up by member charities. Community and charitable organisations across Sunderland, Newcastle, Northumberland, Gateshead, South Tyneside, East Durham, Stockton on Tees and Middlesbrough benefit from FareShare. These organisations distribute good food to communities which, due to economic and social exclusion, would either have an absence of food or a poor diet. Such groups include centres for victims of domestic violence, homeless organisations, lunch clubs for older people and kids clubs. Last year, FareShare North East provided food for over 650,000 meals in the region, and saved more than 270 tonnes of food going to waste thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers. FareShare North East would welcome enquires from both food organisations wishing to donate as well as new community projects that would like to receive food.

  • In rural areas, community connections are a lifeline - especially in winter, when unreliable transport and harsh weather can leave many isolated. That’s where Sunniside Community Association steps in. Through their free community meals, they’re not just providing food - they’re creating a safe, warm space for neighbours to come together and connect. This winter, help us keep these vital services running. With our #DoubleTheDrive campaign, every donation doubles our ability to reach isolated areas, especially when it matters most. Donate today to keep these lifelines strong! https://lnkd.in/e6sQc-B3

  • Right now, 1 in 4 children in the North East are facing food insecurity. Christmas memories should be of joy, togetherness and a holiday meal - not the ache of hunger. But YOU can change that 💚 ✨ With your donation, we can provide a meal, a memory and the comfort every child deserves this holiday season. Together, we can make sure that no child feels forgotten. Let’s ease this burden one meal at a time. https://lnkd.in/dufm7QUc
