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 2,704 tonnes in 2020!

We receive deliveries each day at our Greater Manchester warehouse which our team of over 189 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 compliment this with extra surplus collections from their local supermarket.

In 2020 we redistributed enough food for 6,392,434 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.
