We’re excited to share our 2024–25 Impact Report – a celebration of the difference we’ve made together in tackling food poverty, reducing waste, and building stronger communities across Greater Manchester.

This year has been one of continued progress. Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, donors, and supporters, we’ve been able to:

• Provide 4.72 million meals to 290 charities and community groups
• Save 2,000 tonnes of good food from going to waste
• Support thousands of people with nutritious food at no cost

These achievements aren’t just numbers – they represent real moments of hope and relief for individuals and families who need them most.

More Than Food Redistribution

At FareShare Greater Manchester, our mission is about more than moving surplus food from one place to another. We’re creating sustainable solutions that help people and the planet.

By redistributing quality surplus food, we’re not only addressing food insecurity but also reducing the environmental impact of waste. Every order collected or delivered is a step towards a greener, fairer future.

Inside This Year’s Impact Report

Our 2024–25 Impact Report goes beyond the statistics. Inside, you’ll discover:

• Inspiring community stories – from local organisations and charities at the heart of our work
• Behind-the-scenes insights – on how we source and redistribute surplus food across our network
• Life-changing opportunities – through our employability programme, helping people gain skills, confidence, and routes into work

Our Thanks – And Our Call to Action

Every meal provided, every tonne of food saved, every life touched – it all starts with you. We couldn’t achieve any of this without the time, energy, and generosity of our volunteers, donors, supporters and partners.

But there’s more to do. As we look ahead, we’re committed to growing our impact, reaching more people in need, and continuing the fight against food waste.

If you’d like to join us – whether by donating, volunteering, or spreading the word – we’d love to hear from you.
