FareShare at Balmoral 2025
FareShare, a project operated by the charity Homeless Connect, takes surplus food
from retail, manufacturers and producers which is then distributed to over 170
charities, schools and community groups across Northern Ireland. In the past year,
FareShare was able to divert over 700 tonnes of surplus food, that would otherwise
have gone to landfill, and distributed it to those within the community who need it
most. This is the equivalent of over 1.5 million meals. Declan McKillop, the Head of
Operations at Homeless Connect has said “We are delighted to attend the Balmoral
show this year and would like to thank Tesco for sponsoring our stand, it is great to
be amongst so many of our donors at this event, without whom we couldn’t complete
the work we do.”
FareShare have a slot in the Pavillion kitchen where a cookery demonstration will be
carried out by Chef Jeffers from the Forestside Cookery School. In addition, a food
collection will be carried out on Saturday, any of your surplus items can be left on the
stage in the Pavillion and you can visit the FareShare team for more information
about the wonderful work they do at Stand 48B.
