FareShare is joining forces with The Felix Project
Transform Community Development, as proud members of the FareShare UK network we have some exciting news; FareShare and The Felix Project are merging, uniting two leading forces in surplus food redistribution to tackle hunger and food waste.
Together, we’re creating a bigger, bolder charity with one clear mission: to rescue more good food and get it to the people and places that need it most.
By joining forces, we’ll unlock more food, more funding, and more influence, strengthening the health, wellbeing and resilience of communities.
In Scotland last year, working collectively with our four independent FareShare Scotland network partners (Transform Community Development, Move On, Cyrenians and CFINE) we redistributed almost 11 million meals via 605 local charities and community groups. Local people and partnerships remain at the heart of our work. That won’t change.
A single, unified charity will allow us to streamline operations, reduce duplication and make every pound and meal go further. Together, we’ll speak with one voice and help build a fairer, stronger food system - strengthening ties from farmers and suppliers to the grocery industry - so we can waste less, feed more, and support the people who need us most.
Following today’s announcement, a phased transition will run through to 2026. The new charity will have a refreshed brand identity and a stronger voice when it comes to campaigning and influencing national policy on food waste.
We recognise that there may have questions about the impact this will have on the way we deliver food from, but we will continue to keep you updated in the coming weeks and months.
