⭐Happy Volunteers’ Week! All this week we will be celebrating the brilliant volunteers who make our work possible.

Volunteering not only helps us, it’s very much a two-way street:

When Kelly lost her job after 16 years, she decided to take positive action. 💚

Through our Give & Gain Employability Programme, Kelly rebuilt her confidence, developed new warehousing skills and secured a new role with Greggs - all while continuing to volunteer and support others in her community.

Her story is a reminder that volunteering can open doors, build confidence and create new opportunities.

⭐Last year, 209 volunteers donated an amazing 23,962 hours of their time to support our work.

⭐This , we want to say a huge thank you to everyone of them for all their brilliant support.

⭐Without our fabulous volunteers, we simply couldn’t do the work we do.

As part of our Volunteers' Week celebrations, we're highlighting the stories of some of our wonderful volunteers.
Read Tom's story. 👏💚🎉

⭐A chance visit to FareShare Greater Manchester changed Tom's future.

What started as accompanying his mum to a volunteer induction turned into an opportunity to gain new skills, build confidence and take the first steps towards a career in hospitality.

Now, after volunteering in our warehouse and supporting our Vegelicious cookery programme, Tom has secured a role as a Kitchen Porter at prestigious city centre hotel.

This Volunteers' Week, we're celebrating the incredible impact volunteers make – not only in their communities, but in their own lives too.

Have you heard our FareShare Greater Manchester podcasts yet?
Last December, we began making and sharing recordings that provide insight into the work we do to tackle food insecurity and food waste. As well as offering an overview of our operations, we feature background stories from many of the great initiatives we support, in which project personnel describe the services they provide to some of Greater Manchester's most vulnerable people.
Each episode focuses on a different aspect of what we and our partners do; giving a wide angle view of the organisation. We feature chat sections with our staff and volunteers, who offer a peek into the day-to-day running of FareShare from many different perspectives.
So if you want to know more about what we do, who we help, and the different ways you can get involved, check out the link below.
Happy listening!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR WINTER VAN APPEAL!
These specialist vehicles are absolutely essential in getting vital food supplies to the 260 charities and community groups across our city that we support.
Without our fleet of vans, we simply couldn't deliver that food to the many groups each week who can’t collect from us.
Unfortunately all this hard work takes its toll and our van fleet is wearing out. One vehicle is 17 years old, and another has done 235,000 miles! So there’s an urgent need to replace them.
Please donate whatever you can afford to our JustGiving fundraiser, and share this post to help raise awareness of the campaign.
Thank you. 💚

🍽 Every week, each of our vans delivers enough food for 19,000 meals. That’s families fed, worries eased, and hope delivered - mile by mile.

🚛Help us keep the wheels turning this winter by supporting our Winter Van Appeal.
Our vans are the backbone of our operation getting much needed food out from our warehouse to charities and community groups across Greater Manchester.

💚Help us replace one of our older vans by donating today: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/van-fundraiser
