FareShare Cymru was established in 2010 and began delivering food in July 2011. By using quality, in-date surplus food which would otherwise have gone to waste, we turn an environmental problem into a social solution.
We are one of a network of 21 similar centres located across the UK who all work to fight the same issues: food waste and hunger.
How do we do it? Last year...
- We rescued 1181 tonnes of surplus food
- 155 volunteers gave 16385 hours of their time to help us pick & distribute the food
- 188 Charities and community organisations were supported
- That's 2,813,787 meals provided to vulnerable people
