Fareshare Northern Ireland

What a fantastic achievement. Thank you so much to the team for the valued support. We hope the joints aren't too sore this week!

We are right behind you guys and hugely appreciative of the support. The very best of luck from all of the FareShare team!!!

Had a fantastic time at Grow yesterday in North Belfast learning about all it is doing to promote wellbeing & social justice in the local community. Looking forward to working together in the very near future. Well run, welcoming and well worth the vist. #CommunityGarden

A massive thanks goes out to the staff and friends of Mclaughlin & Harvey Ltd for choosing to raise funds for Fareshare NI at this year's charity walk. It was an extremely wet day on Friday, but everyone remained in good spirits. And we enjoyed it too! Cheers everyone!

We would encourage as many people as possible to participate in this inquiry. It is hugely important we learn more about the reality of children’s food insecurity in Northern Ireland.

Massive thanks to Queen's University students for their recent donation of food. We are in the process of shipping the product out to charities across NI which are assisting vulnerable people in our local community.

This week we are taking time out to thank our heroic team of volunteers who are the lifeblood of FareShare NI. Our volunteers help sort, pack & deliver surplus food to local grassroots charities in Northern Ireland, creating over half a million nutritious meals for people in need every year. How's that for impact? #VolunteerWeek #FeedPeopleFirst Volunteer Now FareShare CHNI CommunityNI Andrea Judge Mark Higginson Méabh Austin Declan McKillop

FareShare Northern Ireland is asking for your help. 1 in 8 people go hungry in the UK, yet hundreds and thousands of tonnes of perfectly edible food is wasted everyday by the UK food industry. This is the last day to sign the petition.

Volunteering at FareShare NI is an incredibly rewarding experience. This short video, which was shot at our new food re-distribution warehouse in Mallusk, highlights just some of the reasons why local people want to become involved. 02890 332230
