(^) Charity of the week
FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food
redistributors, made up of 18 organisations. We take surplus
food from right across the food industry and get it to more
than 10,500 charities and groups. The food we redistribute is nutritious and
good to eat. It reaches charities across the UK, including school breakfast
clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, shelters and community cafés. Every week
we provide enough food to create almost a million meals.
Did you know that one in eight people in the UK regularly go hungry,
yet thousands of tonnes of food is wasted every year? We know we can
dramatically increase the amount of food we deliver to charities feeding
vulnerable people, but to achieve our goal we need your help. Please visit
fareshare.org.uk to find out how you can get involved.
Fill in all the squares so that
each row, column and each
