The vast majority of food waste occurs in the supply chain- before it even reaches the supermarket. Working with the FareShare network we save quality surplus food from food retailers at both a regional and national level- over 675 tonnes per year, and growing!

We receive deliveries every day at our warehouses which our team of  volunteers and staff sort and store. We in turn provide employability support to our volunteers- our way of saying a big thank you.

Our volunteers then redistribute to over 192 charities, schools and community groups accross Yorkshire. Community groups can sign up to receive weekly orders of food from us to cover their main food needs, and we can complement this with extra surplus collections from their local supermarket.

In 2017/18 we redistributed enough food for over 1.6 million meals. The organisations we support provide vital services alongside food services. They range from homeless shelters to women’s support charities, and from disability charities to school breakfast clubs, across just about every area or support for individuals.
