At Hope Beyond Borders, we are celebrating all mothers with great love and appreciation on their special day. 🌷

Today, we honour their unconditional love, strength, and the sacrifices they make every day for their children and families. Being a mother is a unique and beautiful blessing that leaves a lifetime of love and cherished memories.

We hope today you are surrounded by joy, love, and many blessings, and that you receive all the affection you deserve from your children, grandchildren, and loved ones. 💖

Happy Mother’s Day!

It's Stop Food Waste Day! 🍏

Every year, UK households throw away 4.7 million tonnes of edible food - and a big part of that comes from confusion over date labels. But what is the difference?

At FareShare North East, we see just how much perfectly good food would be wasted without redistribution, especially items that are still safe to eat past their "Best Before" date.

Best Before = quality
Food might lose a little crunch or colour after this date, but it's still safe to eat.

Use By = safety
Do not eat food past this date. You'll usually see it on meat, dairy, ready meals, and prepared fruit and veg.

You might have also noticed that many whole fruits, vegetables, and bakery items no longer carry Best Before dates - a simple change to help reduce food waste in stores and at home.

Our top tip? Trust your senses, Look at it, smell it, and check the texture (is it slimy when it shouldn't be?). If it looks good and smells good, it's probably still good to eat.

Tell us in the comments: What’s one food item you used to throw away but now keep? 👇

It was a proud moment for Hope Beyond Borders to share our mission alongside such culinary talent. Our Chef and Project Manager, Jordy Lopez, led a live demonstration of a classic Spanish tortilla with alioli, proving that delicious, vegetarian recipes are a simple way to care for our planet.

The show got even better when Anthony joined us to led and make traditiona 𝗔𝗹𝗳𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝘂𝗹𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗲 Watching two pros team up to create these sweet treats was a highlight of the festival!
