We are one of a network of 21 similar centres located across the country. As a community of independent franchise charities, we are all fighting the same issues: hunger and food waste. Millions of tonnes of good food is disposed of by the UK Food Industry every year. At the same time, millions of people are struggling to afford to eat.
EMERGE set up FareShare Greater Manchester in 2008. Our work addresses the two issues of waste and need – by redistributing food industry surplus, which would otherwise go to waste, to the people who need it most.
