Harris Hill are delighted to be supporting FareShare in their search for a brand new Individual Giving Officer. 

Hunger is a growing issue in the UK and while there is surplus food that is otherwise going to waste, FareShare believe that this food should be used to feed people first. The UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, they take good quality food surplus and get it to almost 11,000 frontline charities and community groups. During 2020, they redistributed 113 million meals, reaching over 1 million people.

With the COVID19 pandemic shining a light on the issue of food insecurity in the UK the organisations work has never been more vital. The increase in awareness and significance has seen FareShare benefit from the support of major retailers, the media, sports ambassadors and a groundswell of public engagement.
