Double the Impact: Join FareShare North East in The Big Give
Our call to businesses to pledge support and help unlock match-funding for surplus food redistribution.
This December 2025, FareShare North East is once again taking part in The Big Give, the UK’s largest match-funding campaign. For one week only, every pound donated to our campaign will be doubled, helping us rescue even more good food from going to waste and get it to where it’s needed most.
Double the Good – Halve the Waste
Our target this year is to raise £30,000 – enough to support the delivery of over 400 tonnes of good food to more than 250 community groups across the North East in January, February, and March 2026.
We’re calling on corporate partners, both new and existing, to get involved early by pledging to support our campaign. Your commitment could help us unlock thousands of pounds in match-funding and inspire others to give generously during the week of the campaign.
Why get involved?
FareShare North East works with the food industry to rescue quality surplus food and redistribute it to over 200 charities and community groups across the region. This prevents good food from ending up in landfill, saving vital resources and cutting carbon emissions, all while nourishing communities.
Each year, around 270,000 tonnes of edible food is wasted by the UK food industry. That’s enough for 650 million meals. With your help, we can save more of it.
While our food members pay a small fee for the food they receive, this only covers around half of our actual core costs. The rest comes from generous funders and partners like you.
Ways to partner with us:
- Pledge match-funding ahead of The Big Give week to double the donations we receive from the public.
- Engage employees in fundraising efforts or volunteering at our Newcastle warehouse.
- Raise awareness of the campaign through your networks, clients and customers.
- Share your impact: Show your commitment to sustainability and social good by aligning your brand with FareShare North East.
Together, we can make a bigger difference.
