During the first week of October, FareShare Midlands set out to raise extra funds to help feed vulnerable people across the Midlands - and funded 12,000 meals!

Listen to Simone Connolly, discuss FareShare Midlands work on Friday Night Clive.

Earlier this year, FareShare ambassador and footballer Marcus Rashford was named as the Postcode Hero by People’s Postcode Lottery. Read about how FareShare used the consequential £125,000 of funding to help feed people in the Midlands.

We were so grateful to have some of the team members from Arch Insurance come to help us at our Nechells depot last week! Madhi, Steve and Imran joined us in the warehouse to provide essential help in prepping the day’s food deliveries.

A ground-breaking Lincolnshire food hub, opened in mid-July 2021, has already redistributed over 41,000 nutritious meals to local food charities. Each day, unsold food including fruit and veg, baked goods and chilled food is donated by local partners including the Lincolnshire Co-op and Gousto, a British meal kit supplier.

Our 6 month pilot project began in July earlier this year, with a goal to utilise surplus, end-of-day produce from Lincolnshire Co-op stores and other suppliers, to support community organisations across the county. Since the beginning of our pilot project in Lincolnshire, we have had the continued support from Jake, Jamie and Emily; volunteers from Friendz & Co.

At this year’s FareShare Volunteer Awards ‘Team Nechells’ from FareShare Midlands have won the award for Regional Centre Team of the Year and the Bright Idea award.
