**FareShare, the surplus food redistribution charity, is looking to expand into 
Bristol, the South West and South Wales due to the increasing volume of donated 
food.**

According to the latest issue of NCVO’s

Sustainable Funding Project newsletter, more charities and voluntary groups could
start to receive free food for their projects from FareShare. The charity distributes
surplus, high quality food from retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers who would
otherwise have to throw it away. Instead the food is passed on to 250 local charities
to improve the health and well being of over 9,500 homeless and vulnerable people
each year.

FareShare, originally set up by homelessness charity Crisis, operates from 8 centres
in England and Scotland, so its expansion will no doubt prove valuable to organisations
in south Wales and the South West.
