Welcome to FareShare!

What we do
FareShare is the UK’s largest charity fighting hunger and food waste. We save good-to-eat, surplus food from going to waste and redistribute it to frontline charities, including school breakfast clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters, and community cafés, who turn it into meals.

By ensuring that good food is not wasted, FareShare transforms an environmental problem into a social solution.

Why our work matters
·      One in five people in the UK live in food insecurity¹– including 4 million children.²
·      Over 3 million tonnes of good-to-eat food goes to waste in the UK every year,³ enough for 7 billion meals.
·      Wasted food is responsible for up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, fuelling climate change.⁴
·      75% of the charities that we redistribute food to support families and children.

Our Vision

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.

Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.

In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.

Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
