Big Give: Making Spirits Bright This Winter

The Big Give Christmas Challenge is now finished, but you can still make a difference by donating to our Winter Fundraising Campaign!

Make Spirits Bright This Christmas

In the Midlands, 1 million children live in food insecurity, while across the UK, 10 billion meals are thrown away every year. Your support can help change this.

In 2024, FareShare Midlands rescued enough surplus food to provide the equivalent of 20 meals every 60 seconds, supporting more than 650 charities and community groups and reaching over 60,000 people every single week.

Local residents feel the impact directly. Rachel, a working mum, shared:

“FareShare really helps us, we wouldn't be able to cope without it. The bills are increasing all the time… By the time we get paid and pay the bills, there’s hardly anything left to live off for the rest of the month. This year we're struggling terrible.”

By donating during the Big Give week, you will Make Spirits Bright for families like Rachel’s and double your impact in the fight against hunger and waste.

Why Your Support Matters 

FareShare Midlands is the region’s largest food redistribution charity. We rescue good-quality surplus food that would otherwise go to waste - getting it to local charities, community groups and frontline services providing life-changing support.

Your donation helps us tackle hunger, reduce waste, and strengthen communities across the Midlands.

Thank you for helping us make spirits bright this Christmas — and for being part of the movement to feed hope, fight waste, and build stronger communities.
