Food insecurity is a growing issue across the UK with 3 in 10 children eating less fruit than they were last year. FareShare is a charity working to redistribute surplus food to over 8000 UK charities.
Since the beginning of Primafruit’s partnership with FareShare, we have been working together to help those in need have access to nutritious food and have donated over 2 million meals so far.
FareShare said “There are currently 11 million people in the UK facing food insecurity, while 10 billion meals worth of food is wasted each year. We are grateful to Primafruit for their support which enables us to redistribute fruit to those who may struggle to access less affordable healthy food. ”
Between January and June 2024, we donated 20 tonnes of fruit. This helped 637 charities and was the equivalent of 48,000 meals.
We are committed to supporting this exceptional charity, and strive to make a difference to those in need.
