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 manufacturers and food retailers at both a regional and national level; over 1,000 tonnes per year, and growing!

We receive deliveries each day at our Greater Manchester warehouse which our team of over 70 volunteers sort and store. We in turn provide support to our volunteers; our way of saying a big thank you.

Our volunteers then redistribute to over 230 charities, schools and community groups across Greater Manchester. Members can sign up to weekly orders of food from our warehouse to cover their main food needs, and can complement this with extra surplus collections from their local supermarket.

In 2018 we redistributed enough food for over 3,000,000 meals. The organisations we support provide vital services alongside food services. They range from homeless shelters to food clubs and pantries, and from disability charities to school breakfast clubs, across just about every sector.
