Wow, what an incredible year at FareShare Kent! 💚

“Looking back on 2025, it’s amazing to see what the team has achieved. We’ve diverted more food from landfill and redistributed more surplus than ever before, even compared to the pandemic years. More Kent charities supported, more individuals helped through the Family Food Bank , and more Kent Community Pantry opened… meaning we’ve been able to stand alongside even more people facing the cost of living crisis.

It hasn’t been without its challenges, but I am constantly humbled by the generosity of those who support our work. We simply couldn’t do what we do without our remarkable volunteers, from those picking and packing in the warehouse, to our drivers travelling tens of thousands of miles across Kent, to our Family Food Bank volunteers packing emergency food boxes, and our Pantry volunteers helping distribute food in their communities. Thank you, we couldn’t do it without you.

To our donors, suppliers, partners, and friends old and new, thank you for your continued support.
And to our incredible staff team who go above and beyond every single day, thank you.

We’re excited for 2026, building on what we’ve achieved with new partnerships, mergers, ventures and even more impact to come.” - Peter, Head of Operations, FareShare Kent

Another year supporting amazing community groups, charities and kitchens like Charlie's Angels Kitchens 💚

Towards the end of last year, we were delighted to welcome Nicholas Marston, Chair of Berry Growers to FareShare Kent along with colleagues from FareShare 💚

It was a great opportunity to demonstrate the scale of our work and how we redistribute surplus food to local charities across the region. We also had valuable discussions about how the berry industry can engage more closely with our work going forward, followed by a tour of our site.

We’re hopeful that this will lead to even more fresh British berries being redistributed through the network throughout 2026 🍓

Corporate Spotlight 🌟

We had the pleasure of welcoming Charlotte and the Corporate Credit Control Team from Brakes, part of the Sysco Group, to FareShare Kent for their volunteer day.

Thank you to Charlotte and the whole team for your fantastic support, we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 💛

Thank You to Simon from Hitachi!

He came to volunteer with FareShare Kent this week, spending most of the day as a porter and also putting in a shift in the warehouse. His support helped keep food moving to charities and community groups across the county, giving them a warm meal this winter 💚

Merry Christmas from all of us at FareShare Kent 🎄

This year, we’ve been overwhelmed by the incredible support from our volunteers, food partners, community food members, staff and partners. Together, you’ve helped increase our food intake by 30%, keeping us on track to save 13,000 tonnes of food from landfill and use it to feed our communities 🎁

We hope you all have a well deserved break this Christmas, we can’t wait to see what we can achieve in the New Year!
