More information about our FareChance programme at FareShare South-West:
FareShare Southwest is a food distribution charity with a social and environmental purpose, taking good quality in-date surplus food and delivering to over 300 organisations across the city including schools, charities and food banks. We run our operation from three distribution warehouses based in Bristol city centre, Bedminster and Plymouth.
As well as environmental purposes, FareShare also focus’ on creating social impact through offering an accessible Youth Employability programme, FareChance to 18-25 year-olds. The programme is delivered from Vale Lane in Bedminster, south Bristol: the city’s first youth-led and warehouse where participants co-design the space, the programme and deliver the operation of a fully functioning food warehouse.
The programme works with young people who have limited access to mainstream support. Many of the young people we work with are unemployed, at risk of exclusion from school, looking to gain work experience, have physical and mental health needs, have learning difficulties, and lack in self-esteem and confidence.
The 10-week programme focus’ on personal and professional development and warehouse training. We use warehouse skills and training with the aim to teach young people how to realise their self-worth and engage with the job market to find meaningful employment of their choice.
