They are a food redistribution charity – they take good food that would otherwise go to waste, and sort it for it to be redistributed to local charities who can give it to those in need.

We'll be in the Tesco Store on Braunstone Gate handing out FareShare 'shopping lists' with suggested donations. Customers can then buy items from this list to leave at the in-store food collection at the end of their shop. This food is taken to the nearest 21 FareShare Regional Centres where volunteers sort it to then redistribute it to 3500 charities across the country.

IMPORTANT ADDITiONAL SIGN UP* Please ensure that you are also signed up through the FareShare website and registered for this slot: https://fareshare.org.uk/foodcollection

This task was a huge success in previous years with GoodGym helping FareShare collect thousands of donations in stores up and down the country!

There are four three hour slots today, I've listed it as 6-9pm each day but if you want to sign up to other timeslots (9-12, 12-3 and 3-6) please do so and use this community mission to record your good deed.

Upon arrival at the store please report to customer services to sign in and collect anything needed for the task. You may be stood by the entrance so bring some layers to keep warm!
