Last year we redistributed the 4.7 million meals worth of good-to-eat surplus food to people who really need it. We could not do that without the support of our food partners. These are the companies which supply us with the food we redistribute to our community food members (250 charities and community groups).

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Co-op Lea Green.

Reducing waste is part of our ethos – it strengthens our community, preserves resources, and supports a more sustainable future for everyone. 

Co-op Lea Green

Food Supplier

Here at FareShare Greater Manchester, we rely on manufacturers, retailers and others in the food industry to supply us with their surplus good-to-eat food. Without their food donations, both regular and one-off, we would not be able to serve our 250 community food members.

Long-term food partner

Co-op Lea Green has been working with FareShare as a food partner since 2013 and in that time has donated 623 tonnes of food into the FareShare network – that’s equivalent to a staggering 1,484,182 meals! Primarily, Co-op Lea Green sends us chilled fresh food, but it has also supplied us with ambient and frozen lines as well. Generally, the food sent to us consists of shorter dated products and pallets which have been sent to the depot incorrectly by suppliers.

Multiple benefits

The Co-op’s Lea Green Distribution Centre serves Co-op stores across North Wales and the North West of England, so the amount of food coming through the doors is immense. A Co-op Lea Green spokesperson says there are many benefits to working with FareShare Greater Manchester to minimise wastage of food; “By reducing waste, we honour our commitment to the community and contribute to a more sustainable future. Reducing waste is a part of our ethos – it strengthens our community, preserves resources, and supports a more sustainable future for everyone.”

We collect the food

Initially, Co-op Lea Green delivered to FareShare, but we now make regular trips to collect from them. We visit the Lea Green depot three times a week for regular pick-ups using our own vehicle. By having a regular slot, it works well for the Co-op and for us. Co-op staff are able to have stock ready for us when we arrive and it makes for a smooth working relationship as we know we will be getting a regular supply of good quality food for our members. In fact, Co-op Lea Green says the collection system is one of the most rewarding parts of working with us owing to “the ease” of dealing with us.

By sending surplus good-to-eat food to FareShare Greater Manchester rather than it going to waste has a cost benefit too, their spokesperson says there are many advantages, “all people working in the industry, hate to see good food go to waste. We obviously incur a cost to destroy food, but this is a long distant second behind it not being put to good use.”

Win-win situation

“It is beneficial for staff, as everyone benefits from hearing about good work being done. It also benefits suppliers, as opposed to collecting stock, it is more cost effective for them to see it go to charity. It’s win-win”, says a Co-op Lea Green spokesperson. And any advice for others in the food industry thinking of working with FareShare Greater Manchester? “It is an extremely rewarding experience. The feedback we get routinely about the effect it has had in the area is truly worth it. Do it, you won’t regret it. It’s a pleasure to work with FareShare”.

Thank you to everyone at Co-op Lea Green for your amazing support for FareShare over the past 12 years – we really appreciate it!

Give Surplus Food

Last year we redistributed 2,000 tonnes of good-to-eat surplus food to people who really need it. We could not do that without the support of our food partners. These are the companies which supply us with the food we redistribute to our community food members (250 charities and community groups). Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Fuidel.

As a food business, we see the value in every item we source. Wasting it while others go hungry goes against our values. This partnership lets us give back in a meaningful way.

Fruidel

Food Supplier

Here at FareShare Greater Manchester, we rely on manufacturers, retailers and others in the food industry to supply us with their surplus good-to-eat food. Without their food donations, both regular and one-off, we would not be able to serve our 250 community food members.

Giving back

Fruidel is a fresh produce and milk office delivery company, supplying fruit, milk, and snacks to workplaces across the UK. It has donated a variety of surplus items to us including fresh fruits and dairy products. A company spokesperson explained why they chose to send their surplus stock our way,“We saw a consistent surplus of good-quality food going to waste. It felt wrong – and when we found FareShare Greater Manchester, it just made sense to redirect it to people who need it. As a food business, we see the value in every item we source. Wasting it while others go hungry goes against our values. This partnership lets us give back in a meaningful way.”

Christmas donation

Fruidel first began working with us in March 2020 however, in the run up to Christmas last year, they made their biggest donation – a delivery of over 5.5 tonnes of fruit. They said “it was one of our biggest contributions to date. What made it even more special was getting a shoutout on social media from Marcus Rashford. That recognition helped highlight the importance of tackling food poverty and really motivated our team.” In total, over the past 5+ years, Fruidel has donated more than 29 tonnes of fresh fruit and milk to our Manchester warehouse.

Sustainability goals

Our food suppliers often say that by donating their surplus food to us, it helps solve a problem for them. Donating unwanted stock helps those in need, it is also a great way of reducing food waste and protecting the environment. Fruidel says it’s no different, “Sustainability is core to Fruidel. Donating surplus food reduces waste and supports the local community, aligning with our mission to be a responsible and ethical supplier.”

Urging others to do the same

What would Fruidel say to anyone else considering donating surplus good-to-eat food to FareShare Greater Manchester? “If you have edible surplus food, don’t let it go to waste. FareShare Greater Manchester makes it easy, and the impact is immediate and rewarding. We’re proud to support FareShare and encourage other local businesses to join the movement. Every bit helps.”

Happy listening!

The run-up to Christmas is always a busy time for us at FareShare Greater Manchester. We make sure all our community food Members have the stock they need for the festive period. Additionally, there is always extra work that comes our way at this time of year.

Each year, the Buckingham Emergency Food Appeal (BEFA) delivers food to additional North West charities. These charities cater to those in need at Christmas. Our Openshaw warehouse serves as the BEFA hub for this region each December. We have been doing this for more than a decade.

BEFA first began 39 years ago after founder and farmer, Mike Buckingham, took his children to the theatre in central London. On the trip, they saw homeless people sleeping under Waterloo Bridge and learned that they were going to be served Christmas dinner at the homeless charity Crisis. Mike went to Crisis, said he was a farmer and asked what he could do to help with the Christmas meal.

That first year, they collected £750 worth of food, put it onto a lorry and took it to London to support the Crisis Christmas dinner. The Buckingham Emergency Food Appeal was born and has been going ever since.

BEFA in the North West

Over the years, the BEFA operation has grown from just serving central London and uses FareShare Greater Manchester as a hub for charities in the North West of England. This year, BEFA is hoping to support 200 charities, many of whom are supporting people who are homeless and vulnerable.

Last week, we distributed food to 46 North West charities and community groups thanks to the BEFA food delivery which included turkeys, vegetables, Christmas puddings & other food stuffs too.

We couldn’t have managed the BEFA redistribution this year without our brilliant corporate volunteers from Garic and Hive Projects. They were brilliant. Thank you so much guys!

Learn more about the Buckingham Emergency Food Project.

In recent weeks, we have been saying a big ‘thank you’ to the companies which supply us with the food we redistribute to our community food members (over 300 charities and community groups). This time, we’re shining the spotlight on Warburtons. Warburtons food donations have played a vital role in supporting FareShare Greater Manchester’s mission to feed those in need and reduce food waste across the community.

Our partnership with FareShare has enabled us to donate even more products to those who need it the most in our communities whilst doing the right thing for the environment. Our people take great pride in playing a part in redistributing surplus and have had opportunities to volunteer and see the difference they are making! – Warburtons

Warburtons

Food Supplier

Warburtons, a fifth-generation family business, has been baking since 1876 and is now Britain’s largest bakery brand. Since the company began, it has been proud to support the communities close to its bakeries sites and has been a supporter of FareShare in Greater Manchester since 2019. In the five years they have been working with us, they have donated over 68 tonnes of bread products to help our operation, feeding those that need it the most and reducing their operational food waste.

Supporting communities

Building on its rich history of supporting local communities, the company launched The Warburtons Foundation in 2022 which aims to support families across Great Britain. They say “Through the Warburtons Foundation, we are committed to supporting communities whether that be through product donations, financial support or education. Our partnership with FareShare has enabled us to donate even more products to those who need it the most in our communities, whilst doing the right thing for the environment. Our people take great pride in playing a part in redistributing our surplus products and have had opportunities to volunteer and see the difference they are making.”

Volunteering

Warburtons food donations not only support local communities but also provide their employees with volunteering opportunities at FareShare Greater Manchester, where they see the impact firsthand. Like many of our corporate partners, Warburtons has taken the opportunity to send their colleagues along to our HQ at Maynard House in New Smithfield Market to volunteer. Corporate volunteers can get hands on experience in our warehouse picking and packing orders ready for delivery to our community food partners. They also have the chance work as driver’s assistants, riding out in the delivery vans to see firsthand where the food is going. Find out more about our corporate volunteering opportunities.

Sustainability goals

An added benefit to donating surplus food to FareShare Greater Manchester is that food manufacturers can hit their sustainability targets and minimise their impact on the environment as well as helping the community. Companies which donate food to FareShare receive regular impact reports from our development team, which shows just how powerful their donations are.

Warburtons says, “We want to reduce our impact on the environment to ensure we are a responsible, safe and trusted brand for the long term. Our sustainability strategy sets out key ambitions for carbon reduction, food waste, packaging, sourcing and people & communities. By working with FareShare, we can accelerate our ambition of ensuring no good food goes to waste.”

Partnering with Fareshare to redistribute their surplus products was a natural choice; “We take great pride in making our products and hate to see them wasted. Within our operations, we have avoided sending any Warburtons products to landfill since 2015, but we knew we could do more to redistribute surplus back into communities and so we partnered with Fareshare in 2019 to help us do just that.”

Urging others to do the same

What advice would Warburtons give to other food producers considering donating their surplus food to FareShare Greater Manchester?

“Making sure no good food goes to waste is increasingly important and we would encourage all food producers to partner with FareShare to support families in need, while also combatting operational food waste. They are easy to work with, take good care of our products and support us to tell the story to our colleagues, whether that be through attending events at our sites or hosting volunteers.”

Thank you to Warburtons for your continued support for FareShare Greater Manchester!

Give Surplus Food

Parfetts food donations have been instrumental in supporting FareShare Greater Manchester’s efforts to redistribute surplus food to local charities and community groups. Throughout the summer, we are saying a big ‘thank you’ to the companies who supply us with the food we redistribute to our community food members (over 300 charities and community groups). This time, we’re shining the spotlight on Parfetts.

In a business where there is always going to be an element of surplus, it enables us to square the circle – where we can use that surplus to make a difference – Parfetts

Parfetts

Parfetts is one of the largest independent retail wholesalers in the UK. It supplies stock to over 1,000 Go Local, The Local & Go Local Extra independent retailers. When we asked why they chose to support FareShare Greater Manchester, they responded, “there wasn’t a specific event which prompted the decision. We just want to ensure we are always serving the communities in which we operate.”

Supporting local communities

Since beginning their partnership with us, Parfetts food donations have provided nearly 6 tonnes of surplus food, directly benefiting the communities they serve. The company emphasises how important it is for their staff to support the local communities where they are based; “As an employee owned business, we are very active in our local communities supporting charities and good causes and encourage our team to get involved. The vast majority of our customers operate stores that serve their local communities and the health of those communities affects them – so us supporting local communities has wide reaching benefits for all. Wastage in a business like ours is inevitable, despite us doing everything we can to minimise it and we felt that if this could be put to a positive use that helped people it could only be positive.”

Good for the environment

We accept both regular and one-off deliveries of in-date surplus food at our Manchester warehouse. We believe that good food is best eaten, not thrown away. Giving surplus food to charity with FareShare follows the food use hierarchy which calls to feed people in need first, before sending food to animal feed, anaerobic digestion or to landfill. When food producers and suppliers donate food to charity through FareShare, they not only help the environment, they help fight hunger in the local community too.

Parfetts says, “In a business where there is always going to be an element of surplus it enables us to square the circle – where we can use that surplus to make a difference. Alongside our environmental policies and the changes we are making to the business, it is another string to our bow to move us in the right direction.”

Proud to be making a difference

Taking pride in supporting local causes is a positive for Parfetts; “As an employee owned business, our team are involved in decisions like this and kept fully aware of everything we are doing – this is just one of the ways we ensure that the team are happy and feel good about the business and the things we do.” The company continues, “Our team members are from the local community and so are part of it by definition, so working for a company that makes an active difference is always a point of pride”.

What advice would Parfetts have for anyone else working in the food industry thinking of donating surplus food to FareShare Greater Manchester? “Just do it – there are only benefits and the rewards for a minimal amount of work are huge”.

Thank you Parfetts for your continued support for FareShare Greater Manchester!

Give Surplus Food

Throughout the summer, we are saying a big ‘thank you’ to the companies which supply us with the food we redistribute to our community food members (over 300 charities and community groups across Greater Manchester). This time, we’re shining the spotlight on Kellanova.

It goes without saying that it makes our employees feel good about working for a company that does good and gives back to its local community. Combine this with the opportunity to volunteer at FareShare and get to see firsthand the important work that FareShare does and how our contributions aid their efforts – Kellanova

Kellanova

Our relationship with Kellanova dates back 15 years – the company told us how that first donation came about; “We first started donating products to FareShare Greater Manchester in 2009 when a colleague from the supply chain team (logistics) commented on edible food that was getting written off (sold off for animal feed). We created a new process to separate edible from inedible and started donating it to FareShare Greater Manchester. By doing this it helps us support local communities and has created a lasting partnership with FareShare.”

During the last 15 years, Kellanova has donated an amazing 250 tonnes of products to FareShare Greater Manchester. When you consider the fact that cereals are relatively light in comparison to other foodstuffs, that adds up to a colossal amount of food.

Helping the community

We asked Kellanova what the key benefits are that they’ve experienced from donating surplus food in this way. Their response was; “It goes without saying that our key objective is to sell all the products we make but occasionally there are times when that’s not possible, so donating to FareShare is the best alternative. We know that our breakfast cereals are a staple for most households and they’re a welcome addition for the school breakfast clubs and food banks who feed people in need”.

Cereals and other breakfast items are very much in demand with the community food members we serve especially school breakfast clubs, food banks and community pantries. L’Chaim is one of the groups which benefits from the Kellanova food donations made, Dubby Klyne from L’Chaim Foodbank says they are hugely important:

The cereals provided by Kellanova via FareShare have played a huge part in our ability to provide emergency food parcels to thousands of recipients in the Greater Manchester area over the last few years. Since the end of Covid, food donations have comparatively dwindled to a trickle and combined with a need that has grown exponentially in the same period it has been increasingly difficult for organisations like L’Chaim Foodbank to provide the basic three meals to families who are most in need. The cereal donations from Kellanova meant that for a long period of time, we didn’t have to worry about being able to provide at least one of those meals every day. – Dubby Klyne, L’Chaim Foodbank

Other benefits

In addition to ‘doing the right thing’ with regards to surplus edible food, there are other benefits too, with regards to sustainability. Alexander Beck, Social Impact & Sustainability Advisor for Kellanova, says “we have ambitious global sustainability goals including commitments on reducing food waste so the donations we make to FareShare contribute to that.”

Alexander also commented that the relationship has been beneficial to Kellanova employees as well; “Employees have always been fully supportive of the decision. Many people have also taken the opportunity to go and volunteer at FareShare Greater Manchester too and always come back saying how shocked they are about the amount of variety of products that have been donated. I think, when you see it all filling the warehouse, it really makes you stand back and think that if it hadn’t been donated then it would have gone to waste which would have been unforgivable really”.

Advice for other food producers

Finally, we asked Alexander what advice he would have for any other food manufacturers or suppliers who might be considering donating their surplus edible food to us?

“I would recommend donating to FareShare Greater Manchester as it makes such a difference to people in need in the region. It might involve creating new processes and overcoming a few challenges along the way but anything is possible with the mindset to create positive changes for people and planet.

Thank you to Kellanova for your continued support for FareShare Greater Manchester!

Give Surplus Food

Throughout the summer, we are saying a big ‘thank you’ to the companies who supply us with the food we redistribute to our community food members (over 300 charities and community groups). This time, we’re shining the spotlight on The Bread Factory.

We love giving back in whatever way we can, and knowing we can be part of FareShare’s incredible work really makes us feel proud to be Mancunian. Everyone from the bakers to the customer care team gets a sense of pride when they see what their hard work has contributed to, and they can see that they’re making a real difference to those around them – The Bread Factory

The Bread Factory

The Bread Factory Manchester is an artisan bakery based in Openshaw, just a stone’s throw from FareShare Greater Manchester. It has supplied 7.6 tonnes of bread products to us to date which it freshly produces and delivers on a daily basis.

Daryl Ross, Head of Sales, explains why the bakery chose to support FareShare Greater Manchester in this way: “Part of our company’s ethos is ‘community’, which includes our team members within the business but of course the community outside our bakeries too. We love giving back in whatever way we can, and knowing we can be part of FareShare’s incredible work really makes us feel proud to be Mancunian. Everyone from the bakers to the customer care team gets a sense of pride when they see what their hard work has contributed to, and they can see that they’re making a real difference to those around them.”

Combating food waste

One of the benefits of sending surplus food to FareShare rather than seeing it going to waste means that food producers are able to deal with food waste in an ethical way. The dual benefits of not discarding edible food to landfill or animal feed while being able to do something beneficial for the community is a win-win situation. Daryl Ross agrees, “We hate food waste! And our bread is so amazing, it’s just fantastic to share it with everyone. We have to make excess bread due to our processes, so it helps us keep it out of the bins, and sends it somewhere for good use.”

The Bread Factory doesn’t just support FareShare Greater Manchester, it has gone on to work with other organisations doing important work in the wider community. “We have recently worked with Booths to contribute 14p to every loaf we sell to them to Cure Leukemia, supplying a dedicated nurse to the North West. We love to shout about our work with FareShare so it pushes other companies to do the same, in whatever form they may be able to,” continues Daryl.

Sustainability goals

She adds that by sending surplus bread our way, it helps the bakery hit its sustainability goals: “It creates less waste for our bakers to take care of, helping to reduce landfill and food recycling, as well as our carbon footprint! FareShare is two minutes’ drive from us, so we don’t need to travel far to do some good. We are deeply invested in nourishing our communities by providing wholesome, delicious bread that makes a difference. We actually have a sustainability report for you to read on our website!

By supporting FareShare with this regular delivery, The Bread Factory has seen a positive impact on staff morale. Daryl says colleagues are really engaged “they genuinely care about how we help the community and others around us, whether it be Manchester or further afield. It’s great to show them what they do, matters.”

Advice for other food producers

We asked Daryl what advice she would give to other food producers considering donating their surplus food to FareShare Greater Manchester; “Just give it a go! Anything helps, even if it’s sharing posts and spreading the word about FareShare. The FareShare team are lovely, and here to help you as much as possible! Nothing is too much for them and seeing the quarterly report and how you have helped is worth it.”

Thanks so much to Daryl and everyone at The Bread Factory for your continued support for FareShare Greater Manchester!

Give Surplus Food

Throughout the summer, we are saying a big ‘thank you’ to the companies who supply us with the food we redistribute to our community food members (over 300 charities and community groups). This time, we’re shining the spotlight on Hartshead Meats donations.

It’s a no brainer. Why dispose of excess product or keep it longer than necessary when you can support your local community in making an active difference? It’s crucial to be aware of the challenges charities face in having a supply of food for those less fortunate, get involved and help! –  Hartshead Meats

Hartshead Meats

Meat is one food type which can be hard for us to source and protein is incredibly important to people trying to provide well balanced, nutritious meals for their families. Our partnership with Hartshead Meat is very important to us as it helps us provide a wider range of food for our community food members. Since they started supplying us, Hartshead Meat has given us just over a tonne of meat.

The motivation behind the decision to start donating surplus meat

The company says, “we felt as an evolving business that we have a responsibility to give something back to the local environment. We have been long-term admirers of the work done locally by FareShare. Work that has been brought to the forefront by individuals such as Marcus Rashford through campaigning to ensure no children are going to bed hungry. This prompted us to do our bit in contributing to feed the homeless and provide meals to those less fortunate.”

The positives of donating food to FareShare

“The key benefit for us is knowing that we are making a difference locally, knowing that our small-to-medium sized business is having a large impact on the lives of those in need across Manchester, Stockport, Bolton, Oldham, Warrington and Wigan through the data FareShare provided us with. Given our close proximity to Oldham, this information provides us with a great sense of pride given that we are a family run business.”

Until recently, Hartshead Meat had kept their donations to FareShare private, however they feel it’s important to speak about this kind of work so colleagues are aware of what the company is doing for the wider community; “We have to this point preferred to remain anonymous in our donations as we felt that this was the best way to proceed. However, as the relationship grows with FareShare and we can see the positive impact our donations are having with the local communities, we are very proud of the fact that we support local charities and we feel it is important to make them aware of our responsibilities to the local community when they join the team.”

They continued: “when a new employee joins the team we make them aware of our commitment to supporting local charities, this certainly engages the employee in understanding what we want to achieve as a business. Our staff are all aware of our donations in house and the team as a whole are proud to help the local beneficiaries.”

A sustainable alternative to food waste disposal

We believe that good food is best eaten, not thrown away. Giving surplus food to charity with FareShare Greater Manchester follows the food use hierarchy which calls to feed people in need first, before sending food to animal feed, anaerobic digestion or to landfill. When you donate food to charity at FareShare Greater Manchester, you support a food waste charity and help fight hunger in your community.

Hartshead Meats says that this is an important part of why they donate their surplus meat to us; “Sustainability is crucial throughout our entire process, from ensuring animals graze rich farmland to having the customer base to ensure we can balance the entire carcass. As FareShare is so local to us here, the road miles are minimal allowing us to support a great charity whilst ensuring our CO2 emissions are limited, thus reducing our carbon footprint”.

Advice for other food suppliers

Hartshead Meats says it would wholeheartedly encourage other food manufacturers and suppliers to support FareShare in this way:

“It’s a no brainer. Why dispose of excess product or keep it longer than necessary when you can support your local community in making an active difference? It’s crucial to be aware of the challenges charities face in having a supply of food for those less fortunate, get involved and help!”

Thank you Hartshead Meats for your continued support for FareShare Greater Manchester!

Give Surplus Food

During the summer months, we are saying a big ‘thank you’ to the companies who supply us with the food we redistribute to our community food members (over 300 charities and community groups across Greater Manchester). This time, we’re shining the spotlight on Bidfood.

The goods we donate make a good impact and help out those who are struggling at the moment. Nobody should be going hungry or struggling to feed their families in this day and age

Bidfood

Bidfood started life as part of Booker Foodservice which was established in May 1929, 70 years later the company was acquired by Bidvest plc a South African-based company and in the intervening years it has grown into the company it is today. It supplies FareShare Greater Manchester with a wide range of stock-fresh fruit and vegetables, chilled lines, frozen and ambient produce to us on a daily basis.

Donating food to FareShare Greater Manchester

FareShare’s Manchester operation relies on the regular donation of food from local suppliers to supplement what it receives from the larger national donors. We can take food that:

We redistribute all the food we receive to member charities, schools and community groups. They receive regular checks to ensure they meet our food safety and hygiene requirements. We also ensure they:

Why does Bidfood support us?

Since our relationship with Bidfood first began, the company has donated 3.6 tonnes of food to our redistribution operation. We asked Joanne Rabbitt, Admin & Customer Service Manager at Bidfood, why the company choose to support FareShare Greater Manchester?

“FareShare is local to our depot, they came in to visit last year to share what they do and how they help the local communities. With the current cost of living issues and worries people have, it’s good to know that we are helping those who are in need of a little additional support.” The company was prompted to step up their donations from on an adhoc basis to daily deliveries after that visit.

Joanne Rabbitt, added that it’s vitally important to support the community in Greater Manchester; “People, through no fault of their own, are struggling to put healthy substantial meals on the table. People work full-time jobs but still struggle to provide full meals for their families. I know that if I ever found myself in times of trouble, that FareShare would help me provide food for my children, so while I can offer any help and support, I will.”

Advice for other suppliers

What advice would Joanne have for anyone else considering supporting FareShare Greater Manchester with food donations? “I would say ‘do it!’ Nobody knows what their future holds and one day anyone of us could need the help and support FareShare offer, but this is only made possible by companies and people donating to FareShare.”

Giving surplus food to FareShare Greater Manchester is a great way of supporting your business in meeting its CSR commitments and positively impacting your local community, as well as improving your company’s public image.
