About FareShare North East


FareShare North East is one of 21 regional centres that make up FareShare UK, a network of charitable food redistributors.

Last year, FareShare North East saved over 2,021 tonnes of good surplus food from right across the food supply chain and redistributed it to over 326 charities and community groups.
