Employer Food Redistribution Wales Ltd (FareShare Cymru)


FareShare Cymru
FareShare Cymru is an independent charity and part of the national FareShare U.K. network of surplus food redistribution charities.

We fight food poverty by tackling food waste.

We source quality surplus food - from food retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers - engaging volunteers to redistribute to local charities and community groups that provide meals to vulnerable people (individuals who are homeless, unemployed, socially isolated, recovering from addictions).

Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly and keyworkers.

This is an exciting opportunity to be instrumental in setting the next phase of our development.

This post is a new role in response to this year's rapid growth of the charity's operations and we anticipate exciting new opportunities for further growth in the future.
