“This is a great initiative. You’re seeing people who are really in need getting healthy, nutritious food. A lot of care and attention has gone into growing it, and to see it getting used as food is very satisfying to us.”
Home-Start provides trained volunteers to support families with young children through challenging times – because childhood can’t wait.
FareShare redistributes surplus food from the food industry to charities and community groups across the UK – creating almost a million meals every week for people in need.
