The cost-of-living crisis means that charities are experiencing a rise in people needing their help. This alongside a risk of donations decreasing means they really need support.
Your business can help charities to continue with their vital work, by raising funds through your sales this Christmas and beyond.
“Through supporting FareShare we’re able to contribute to fighting both food inequality and wastage; both massive issues. We’re committed to making life that little bit sweeter and this is just one very small way that we can play our part.”
Richard Parson
Marketing & Communications Manager of Fudge Kitchen
