Origins Food Fund
The Origins Food Fund is a new open fund that we are creating to support vulnerable communities in the UK.
We will be carrying out a number of activities across the year, and the Origins Food Fund is supporting FareShare.
Stream. Learn. Merch. Run. Club. Donate?

Why we're creating the fund:
8.4 million people in the UK are struggling to afford to eat and 4.7 million of these people live in severely food insecure homes.
The unprecendented crisis of Covid-19 caused even more vulnerable families to fall into hardship.
Our aim is to raise awareness and money to help the underfed in the nations most vulnerable communities.
100% of your donation, sub any GoFundMe fees, will support FareShare

FareShare exists because millions of people across the UK are struggling to afford to eat, yet at the same time thousands of tonnes of good food goes to waste every day. As the largest food redistribution charity in the UK, FareShare works directly with food producers and suppliers to unlock surplus food, which would otherwise go to waste.
The food that FareShare redistributes is nutritious, in-date and good to eat. It reaches charities across the UK, including school breakfast clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters, and community cafes. In 2019/2020 the number of charities that FareShare supported increased to 10,962 and we provided enough food to create over a million meals for vulnerable people every week.
