We have an excellent opportunity to join FareShare and if you feel that you would like to make a difference this may be the role for you.
About FareShare Go
FareShare and the Irish social enterprise FoodCloud have been working together since 2016 in a partnership designed to help UK retailers address the issue of edible surplus food they may have within their stores. This innovative partnership, known as FareShare Go, brings together a technology platform and FareShare’s knowledge of the UK charity food redistribution market. Using technological solutions, we connect charities with edible surplus foods from several major retail and restaurant partners across the country.
FareShare’s Strategy and Vision
Our Purpose: We are doers. We are a community. We change lives.
Vision: We have the vision of a UK where “No good food goes to waste”.
Mission: To use surplus, fit for consumption, food to feed those who are vulnerable in the UK by supporting front line charitable organisations that tackle the cause and not just the symptoms of food poverty.
