Corporate partnerships
We offer team building volunteer days for up to 8 people Tuesday – Thursday to companies who wish to support our ongoing efforts to fundraise. This unique volunteering experience provides your team insight into the world of surplus food and food poverty in the community.
At the start of your day a presentation about FareShare the work we do and why we do it. Volunteers have full training before their session in the warehouse picking orders for charities. After lunch, which is provided using surplus food our visitors are given the opportunity to go out on deliveries with our drivers to witness themselves where the food goes and the people who benefit from it.
“Volunteering at FareShare was a truly uplifting experience. Seeing the dedication of everyone involved in redistributing surplus food to those in need was incredibly inspiring, humbling and a reminder of the significant impact we can have when we work together. Knowing that Hive Projects’ volunteering day played a small part in FareShare’s work, which makes such a real difference in people’s lives, was absolutely incredible”
Peter Flint, Hive projects.
We have fantastic feedback from our volunteering days, in fact some people enjoy their time so much they sign up to become regular volunteers!
The day after your volunteering day you will receive a report with pictures of your day to show the impact your team has provided.
We make a charge of £400.00 to cover the costs of running the day, and to support in getting more food out.
To book your day please email Corporatesupport@emergemanchester.co.uk or call 0161 223 8200 (option 4).
We would recommend you book early as the days do get booked up.
“I was so pleased to be able to volunteer for the day with the team at FareShare Greater Manchester. I was proud to play a part helping in their warehouse and delivering much needed food, and to see first-hand the incredible support that FareShare Greater Manchester gives to our local community. Volunteering is also a great way for our N Brown colleagues to spend a day together outside of their usual work environment and I know everyone at N Brown who has volunteered with FareShare Greater Manchester has found the day very rewarding.”
Clare, NBrown.
