About us
FareShare Greater Manchester is a leading member of the UK’s largest food charity, FareShare. We are one of a network of 21 similar centres located across the country. We are a community of independent franchised charities, all fighting the same issues: hunger and food waste. Across the UK, 250,000 tonnes of perfectly edible food is unwanted each year. We want to see that food put to good use.
FareShare Greater Manchester was set up by the environmental charity EMERGE 3Rs in 2008. Our aim is to help tackle the food poverty issue in Greater Manchester by redistributing unwanted food across the region.
