We did it! Your Big Give support helped hit our target

FareShare North East took part in The Big Give – a UK match-funding campaign that helps charities double their donations.

We’re really pleased to share some brilliant news as the Big Give week comes to a close at 12 noon on Tuesday 9th December 2025.

Thanks to your generosity and the support of so many people across the North East, we’ve not only reached our £20,000 target, we’ve passed it!

Because of match funding, every gift has gone even further. That total is equivalent to around 170,000 meals’ worth of surplus food that can now be rescued instead of going to waste and redistributed to charities and community groups across our region.

From one-off donations to campaign shares and encouraging messages, every bit of support has made a real difference.

You’ve helped us:

  • Save good food from being wasted

  • Cut unnecessary carbon emissions

  • Get quality surplus food to the community projects that can use it best

We’re incredibly grateful for your kindness and belief in what we do at FareShare North East.

Thank you once again for helping make this Big Give campaign such a success.

With gratitude,
Team FareShare North East
