New research has revealed that more teachers than ever are being forced to personally provide food to students due to welfare concerns. Yet a staggering 3 million tonnes of good-to-eat food is still going to waste on UK farms every year.

Councillor Lee Marsham visited Fareshare Midlands' Birmingham depot to find out more about the escalating impact of the cost of living crisis and its impact on local charities and their beneficiaries.

We are looking for a committed and experienced leader to work with our established and diverse board and senior management team to fight hunger and tackle food waste.

Help Feed School Children This Summer #NoEmptyPlates

• 4.3 million children are living in poverty and food insecurity.
• 96% of our charity members are seeing the effects of the cost of living crisis.
• 70% are seeing more families with children among those new to their services.

Local charities and community groups are overwhelmed by skyrocketing demand, which will have a devastating impact on thousands of school children who will miss out on free food this summer. To prevent this, we urgently need donations to get nutritious food to school children over the summer.

You will work with the FareShare Midlands Operations team, to ensure that food is delivered in a timely and accurate way to optimise the service provided from the regional depot.
