FareShare Sussex & Surrey Warehouse Opening

The FareShare Sussex & Surrey warehouse in Guildford opened on the 10th of July and AVE Services was there to provide Audio Visual equipment to support this.

The charity has been operating in the county for the last four years, but out of its depot in Brighton. The new warehouse aims to help the food redistribution network deliver more food to charities and communities in Surrey.

What the charity does:

“We rescue surplus food from businesses, supermarkets and farms. This food is nutritious, in date, and safe and includes a high proportion of fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. If we did not rescue this food, it would be at risk of going to waste. Instead, we deliver it to charities, schools, food banks, community pantries and fridges and other organisations serving vulnerable people.

We delivered food for 2.4 million meals supporting 17,370 people a week at risk of food poverty. Food poverty is a huge and growing problem, and 13.4 million people including 4 million children in the UK live in households that struggle to afford to buy enough fruit, vegetables, fish and other healthy foods.”

• 7,000 Lumen Projector
