Podcasts about FareShare

If food waste were a country, it would be the second biggest global emitter of carbon emissions after the US and China. It's a big environmental, economic and social problem. In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast we chat to four different guests, each with a different perspective on how to prevent good food ending up in the bin. We hear from Fiona Bell whose initiative CropDrop helps to connect alloment growers to local food projects, we meet Kate Page from Fooditude, a London-based corporate catering business that is putting sustainability right at the top of the menu. We also explore different ways to use up surplus food, from the high-end event catering provided by Open Kitchen, to the vital support offered to local community organisations by FareShare. Listen to hear: Why food waste happens in the first place – and why it's not just about what we can do individually. How businesses can save money and improve their environmental credentials through better planning around catering. Why more government funding is needed to make food waste from farms a thing of the past. What you can do to support organisations that are tackling this big local issue.

Introducing Rachel Kettlewell. She's the founder of Fearne & Rosie, the jam challenger on a mission to spread goodness up and down the country, packing as much fruit into as many mouths, hearts and minds as possible. Having launched a little over 5 years ago she's now stocked in over 5000 stocking points including the likes of Asda, Co-op and Tesco.  Hailing from Withington,  Manchester, the brand itself is named after her two first-borns, Fearne & Rosie. Before she became a real fruit queen, she worked as a teacher and in the charity sector. Two areas that are still massively important to her today working with both FareShare and schools to provide kids with better for you options.  But it hasn't been all bread, butter and jam for Rachel. The food industry can at times feel fairly gate-kept, requiring a lot of start-up capital just to get off the ground. And when it comes to distribution there are a number of unwritten retail rules that you are expected to follow. Lucky for her, a combination of straight talk and common sense has seen her though. In this episode we talk about the hidden power of naivety, why more competition in jam is a good thing, and what the future has in-store for Fearne & Rosie (the jam not the kids).

Meanwhile, Lesley Gates in Bridgwater—known locally as Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo—shows how she's helping people make the most of their Christmas dinner ingredients through practical demonstrations on saving money and reducing waste.And in Cumbria, Rahina Borthwick, founder of the Grange-Over-Sands Community Foodshare, reflects on the importance of giving within her seaside town. She shares how their community space has become an important gathering point, including for Ukrainian refugees to celebrate Christmas together.Presented by Jaega Wise Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Natalie Donovan.

In this episode of “How do you Say That?!”, Nigel Williams joins Sam and Mark to talk about getting through long e-learning scripts, how translated scripts can be quick-quick-slow, and what do do with bowls and bowls of porridge!We'd love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today's show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1The door to the apartment and door to the house were always open, as was the door to my father's study room. One Sunday we were sitting in the gothic parlour of the apartment, our father was taking a nap and our dog was asleep, too. Then, when father went down to the study room, he saw that someone had broken in. The burglar had tried to open the desk with a letter opener, but it broke. When that didn't work, the burglar went down to the basement and got a steel block; he used that block to break open the furniture and took the money. Fortunately, none of us heard anything and the dog did not bark. That was impressive.Script 2This winter has been tough for a lot of people, and not everyone has access to a warm and nutritious breakfast to start the day & fuel their fire insideThat's why Quaker is partnering with charities like FareShare, to donate up to two point five million warm breakfasts to communities across the UK who need itPick up your promotional pack of Quaker Oats and each purchase means another hot breakfast donated.----------------- Listen to all of our podcasts here ------------------About our guest: Nigel Williams is the breakfast host at Jazz FM and a prolific voiceover artist.

BASF's #BiggestJobonEarth podcast shares experiences from the people that grow our food and care for the environment. In each episode, we talk to farmers about what they do, why they do it, and why despite the ever-changing challenges they face they get up every morning to do their job. This episode shines a light on food availability and affordability, and the role that individuals, charities, and community groups play in making meals available for the 14 million people in the UK – 4 million of them children - who are struggling to eat. Farm businesses up and down the country are going beyond their commitment to food production by initiating incredible work that supports their local communities to eat, and to eat well. This is a celebration of just how key farming and farmers are to looking after those around them. We at BASF are incredibly proud to share these stories. We spoke to farmers Andrew Stirling and Sally Mercer whose families supply charities and community organisations with surplus food to alleviate hunger and to support people in understanding food health and cooking from scratch. We also sat down with Ali Gourley from food redistribution charity, FareShare's, Public Affairs and Policy team to hear more about their campaign to source unharvested produce direct from farmers' fields – at no cost to the farm.

Gene Joyner has done it all. He's been a European champion badminton player, an ex-chair of St Paul's Carnival, a trustee of SS Great Britain and a regular on Ujima Radio.The new CEO of Fareshare South West also boasts a whopping 40 years' worth of experience in the food industry, working everywhere from Parsons Bakery to Better Food Co.So what happens when you combine 40 years worth of food industry experience with a far-reaching local imprint? Bristol24/7 met with Gene at the Fareshare South West offices in St Paul's to find out. 

In the UK today there are millions of people going hungry, including an estimated two million children. It is hard to believe in a rich and resourceful country like the UK where there is, of course, more than enough food to go round. It is just not in the right place. And that is where FareShare UK comes in. FareShare is a national network of charitable food redistributors, who take surplus and waste food from the food industry and get it to frontline charities and community groups. However, this system is under severe stress.  As the retailers and food producers are becoming more sustainable and managing to reduce food waste, donations to food charities have been reducing.     To compound that, the cost of living crisis is having a major detrimental effect on the food charities themselves. So, is the food still getting to where it needs to go? And can the food industry do more to help? Carl Hawkes, Head of Network Support, FareShare UK Carl Hawkes is a multi award-winning third sector leader who is passionate about creating opportunities for all.  Currently the Head of Network Support at FareShare UK, Carl manages the distribution of FareShare's food and also leads FareShare UK's Employability Services and Community Development Team.  Over the past 8 years, Carl has managed over £65 million worth of grants supporting those most in need.  Carl is a regular guest lecturer at Leeds Beckett University, lecturing the Food Nutrition students on the societal benefit of redistributing surplus food. Carl has served on the Board of Trustees at the South Yorkshire Eating Disorder Association and is currently a Board Member at the Leeds Community Foundation.  Outside of work Carl enjoys walking his dog and supporting Everton FC.

We caught up with Paul Conroy, CEO of FareShare Australia for Prodcast episode 73!  FareShare rescues food from supermarkets, wholesalers, manufacturers and farmers and then cooks it into nutritious meals for people in need. Paul heads operations including our kitchens, logistics and kitchen gardens. Their Chefs and volunteers work hand in hand to cook thousands of meals. But what makes them so different? They recognised that people enduring food insecurity often don't eat every day. When they do, it's usually just one meal for the day, so FareShare does everything possible to make nutritious meals that boost physical and mental health. Why? Because we are what we eat and if it's only going to be one meal, it better be a good one, right?! The connection between food, mood and overall health and performance is astronomical. So without further or do, let's get into the episode where we chat to the legendary Paul. Enjoy!

Topic discussing: Ozone Layer, The Queen Remembered, Child poverty Presenter: Muhammad Ather Imam Sheikh Sharjeel Segment 1: International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. Gist of the story: Every year the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer is celebrated on 16 September. The ozone layer is a very important part of Earth's atmosphere that is responsible for keeping out potentially harmful ultraviolet radiation. The use of ozone-damaging substances called chlorofluorocarbons (or CFCs) in a wide range of products such as refrigerators, aerosol cans etc, triggered ozone depletion in the atmosphere, becoming visible in the late 1970s and 1980s. Most dramatically, this depletion has led to so-called holes in the ozone layer above the Antarctic during every southern-hemisphere winter/spring season. SPECIAL SEGMENT 2: The Queen remembered - Looking back at the life of the world's longest serving monarch: Tributes from the Wednesday Team:It is with great fondness that we remember Queen Elizabeth II. She dutifully dedicated her life to public service and put the people she served before herself. She was a great champion of peace, unity and reconciliation. During her seventy year long reign, she continued to serve with the utmost grace and humility. Even in her last days, she made great efforts to carry out her duties as monarch. She will forever be revered as one of the best loved monarchs of the modern period. We will fondly remember the Queen in our hearts and we pray that may Allah grant her family steadfastness and forbearance during this time of great sadness. Segment 3: Child poverty - An estimated 18 million families could struggle to heat their homes this winter Gist of the story: A study by the University of York shows that an estimated 45 million could experience fuel poverty this winter. This means that two thirds of UK families will struggle to pay their energy bills. But how will this affect children who are living in poverty? Guests include: Stephanie Haysmith (Stephanie Haysmith joined the Ozone Secretariat as Communications and Information Officer in June 2019. Stephanie holds a Bachelors in Economics & Politics (Bristol, UK), as well as a Masters in Global Diplomacy (SOAS, UK). Alyson Walsh (Alyson is Commercial Director at FareShare, with responsibility for Fundraising, Marketing Communications and Volunteering.

A young woman has spoken of the moment she was attacked following the Euro2020 final - leading to a miscarriage. Beth Newman, 18, was punched and kicked by a group of other women after leaving a pub in Margate. She spent four days in hospital and suffered seizures. Also in today's podcast, nightclub bosses in Kent say they have been left in the dark about vaccine passports. The Prime Minister is suggesting they're introduced at the end of September for anyone wanting to go to a club. You can also hear from our reporter who has been back to a club for the first time in 16 months. There are calls for Operation Brock on the M20 to be removed as quickly as possible.

Interviews, production and editing: Kaska Hempel In 2018 the UK threw away 9.5 million tonnes of food worth £13 billion. And that's after it had left the farm gates. That's such an incredible waste, which could have gone to feed many, many more people. Wasting so much food also feeds climate change. Globally, around a third of all food produced is lost or wasted, which contributes up to 10 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions. If food waste were a country, it would have the third-biggest carbon footprint after the USA and China. It produces more emissions than all commercial flights. Well today, we visit Tayport's community fridge, which is helping to save and redistribute some of this perfectly good food locally, and which would otherwise end up in landfill. Thanks to many such initiatives across the country, food waste has already significantly reduced in the UK since 2007. Kaska talks to The Larick Centre's Rosie Coutts and Fife Council's Iain Anderson about the nitty gritty of how this partnership started last year, how the project has developed so far and where it's going next. You also hear about the experiences of the fridge volunteers and a few of what appear to be very satisfied users. While projects such as community fridge are a great way of redistributing excess food from the retail sector, we have to remember the sector is only responsible for 3% of the total food wasted in the UK. Majority of the waste, a horrific 70%, happens in our homes! You can get some tips on avoiding this and saving a fair amount of money in the process on the Love Food, Hate Waste website.

This week we once again explore the UK Environment Bill, and how it will impact food brands and manufacturers. Following last weeks look at deforestation, we now turn our attention towards packaging.

In this episode we talk to Michelle Hayes from Resurrected Bites food bank in Harrogate. https://resurrectedbites.co.uk/They say through the love for creation and in the knowledge that 30% of the UK's food goes to waste, we felt challenged to change things in our district. We want to fill bellies not bins, to ensure good quality food is not going to waste.Resurrected Bites is partnered with Fareshare, Neighbourly and Harrogate Waste Not Want Not. With the help of these organisations, we ‘intercept' good quality ingredients that were destined for landfill. Our chefs then create delicious dishes from hearty breakfasts to lovely lunches and divine desserts! All are served in a welcoming environment and when it comes to the bill you ‘pay as you feel' – there's no set charge.Any donations you give help to cover the minimum £290 which it costs to run each cafe and we love to raise money for charity too.

FareShare is the UK’s largest food redistribution charity, with more than 30 Regional Centres across the country. It takes food from the food industry that can’t be sold in shops, either because of packaging errors or a short shelf life.

LOST INTERVIEWS BECKY HILL 'FOREVER YOUNG' Laura Alexandra in conversation with BECKY HILL.Hill talks about working in the studio with 'LITTLE MIX' and more.LISTEN to 'Forever Young' in  ALIEN BOOTH at the end of this amzing interview.British singer Becky Hill released her version of "Forever Young" on November 13, 2020 with at least 10p from every download of the song being donated to the food charity FareShare. Hill's cover was selected as the soundtrack to the 2020 McDonald's UK Christmas TV advert; as part of the promotion, McDonald's donated five million meals to FairShare during the 2020 festive season. Becky Hill's version spent six weeks in the UK charts peaking at 35.With her highly resonant voice and R&B-influenced style, Becky Hill first came to the public's attention competing on series one of The Voice UK. Ultimately reaching the show's semifinal round, Hill emerged a fan favorite and became the first Voice UK contestant to score a number one single when "Gecko (Overdrive)," her collaboration with Dutch EDM star Oliver Heldens, topped the U.K. singles chart in June 2014. Born on February 14, 1994 in Bewdley, Worcestershire, England, Hill was no stranger to music when she first auditioned for the then new The Voice UK in 2012. As a teenager, she had sung with the acoustic rock & soul group Shaking Trees, which created some local buzz and received several plays on BBC Radio. On The Voice UK she made it to the semifinal with her powerful renditions of R&B songs by the likes of John Legend and others, before being eliminated. By her own admission, she was a novice in the music industry game and it took her 18 months to finally get a record deal. In the meantime, however, her sultry, soulful, older-than-her-years voice was highly sought-after by dance artists looking for feature vocalists. Her first recorded appearance, on British drum'n'bass artist Wilkinson's single "Afterglow," went to number eight on the U.K. singles chart. She then appeared on Rudimental's single "Powerless," singing with them at several U.K. festivals in 2013, including Glastonbury. Following her success with Heldens, Hill worked extensively with London-based dance producer MNEK and issued her debut solo single, "Caution to the Wind." It showcased a shift toward a more electronica-influenced sound, with twinkling melodies and production reminiscent of Four Tet. The Eko EP appeared in 2017, and included the single "Unpredictable." The single "Sunrise in the East" followed a year later. In 2019, Hill issued a pair of upbeat singles, "I Could Get Used to This," which featured Weiss, and "Wish You Well," which featured Sigala.Listen out for ‘LAST TIME’ 2021 new single.

A year after the UK was first put into lockdown, Sheila Dillon catches up with some of those who have been keeping the nation fed. If you listened to news reports, you might have thought getting food in lockdown was all about supermarkets and delivery slots, but as we have been hearing during the past year, it has been quite a bit more complicated than that. Coronavirus and lockdown has reset our minds to local and opened our eyes to how widespread hunger is in Britain. In this episode, Sheila brings together the Chief Executive of the UK's largest and longest-running food redistribution charity, Fareshare; the owner of a Rhondda convenience store who during the year has started a new online-delivery business; a London cheesemonger who has seen producers alter and adapt for a changed market; and she meets a pastry chef who has given up the restaurant business to deliver cakes and treats from her home. So what have we learned during this past year about our food supply chains, and how are we doing things differently? And how much of what has changed will last forever? Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced in Bristol by Natalie Donovan

Marcus Godinho is the CEO of FareShare. Over the last 14 years he has created a community of individuals, volunteers and businesses who come together to rescue surplus food, cook it into delicious and nutritious meals and feed people that have fallen on hard times. In this week's episode you will hear how Marcus decided to jump off the straight line of his career trajectory in accounting and finance to follow his passions in sustainability, community and creativity. From the humble beginnings of working out of his bedroom, Marcus has grown and harnessed the power of the FareShare community who today produce 140,000 meals a week to feed those in need. Dig into this one, it will fill you up!

This is one of the most pressing conversations of the moment. The extent of childhood hunger and food insecurity that exists not in third world countries, but here in the UK. It is absolutely astounding that 1 in 8 people are food insecure coupled with the fact that a third of food is wasted along various parts of the supply chain.To open up this discussion I’m inviting representatives from 2 incredible organisations working to tackle these issues in their unique ways, for a fairer and more compassionate society. One where nobody is left unseen nor hungry.Rather than complaining or pointing out a desperate situation I want to shine a light on these incredible charitiesFirst I speak with Alyson Walsh, Commercial Director with responsibility for Fundraising, Marketing Communications and Volunteering at Fareshare. With 25 years’ experience in the food and retail sector, Alyson possesses a wealth of industry and consumer knowledge,Later in this pod, I also speak with Emily Frezza (a former primary school teacher) and Alysa Remtulla from Magic Breakfast, a registered charity providing healthy breakfasts to children in the UK who arrive at school too hungry to learn. We talk about the foundations of the charity and the scale of the issue of food insecurity amongst children in the UK. 2 million children in the UK suffer hunger and Magic Breakfast extend their expert support to their partners across 960 Primary, Secondary, ASL/Special Educational Needs Schools and Pupil Referral Units in disadvantaged areas of England and Scotland. They reach around 167,000 children to ensure they start their school day with the energy and nutrition they need to be able to make the most of their morning lessons. On the pod today we cover the following:Overview of the problemWhat is Food insecurity – what it is, how much of an issue it is, how it’s increased since the pandemic.Food insecurity is a pre-pandemic problemHow to tackle the stigma surrounding food insecurityThe logistical issues surrounding food redistributionHow to get involved with both Fareshare and Magic BreakfastPlease do check out The Doctor's Kitchen Website for full show notes and details on this and all other podcast episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“The love bit of ‘give a little love’ is so important“It’s part two of our Christmas Special. You can tell because Kenneth has his Christmas Jumper on. Following our conversation with John Lewis, we spoke with Lindsay and Peter - the CEOs of FareShare and Home-Start - for their side of the story. They tell us about their year, keeping the partnership a secret and how they were a little feistier than expected. We hear about the magic of food, building strong partnerships and not selling yourself cheaply. We get to grips with Sharepoint, rely upon adrenaline and find out how an organisation can triple its offering overnight. There’s a mutual love-in with the team at John Lewis and hope for next year.

This week we're delighted to delve into the reading habits of a genuine living legend: Irvine Welsh! Irvine is an acclaimed and frequently controversial novelist, playwright, director screenwriter and short story writer. His first novel was the massively popular Trainspotting (turned into an equally popular film) and he has produced 10 more novels with the latest being The Seal Club, a collaboration with Alan Warner and John King. We talked to him about rereading, music books, the joys of a chunky read, the importance of Evelyn Waugh and how he may have inadvertently killed Waugh's son, Auberon.

This week on Dirty Linen, our topic is visa holders in hospitality. Who are they? What are they struggling with? Is it fair that they were told to 'go home' if they couldn't support themselves during the pandemic. First up, Tugce Bayrakdar is a geneticist turned chef who moved from Turkey to study hospitality in Melbourne. She lost her job at Omnia in March and instantly spiralled into a demoralising period of worry. She's now working at food charity FareShare, which has helped her map out a food dream for her future.

In the Music Real E69, our guest is Marcus Godinho who is the CEO for FareShare – a charity that rescues food that would otherwise go to waste, cooks it into nutritious meals and delivers to soup vans, homeless shelters, refuges and community food banks. We have been speaking with business owners around the globe during the lockdown and giving them a voice and a platform to share their story. Lockdown has been brutal and cruel for business around Australia with many people losing their jobs and livelihoods. Marcus talks about how the Victorian Government, Woolworths and ALH Group came together to deliver over half a million meals in May through FareShare. Thanks to travel restrictions, many international students were stranded in Brisbane with no jobs and no access to financial support. Many families across the world would be so incredibly grateful to FareShare, for keeping their kids fed at a time of great anxiety and uncertainty. So while millions of people across AUSTRALIA suddenly stopped, the FareShare team had to level up to meet a greater demand pretty much straight away.

Having grown up in the same village as TSP Host Ben Stanfield, Danny takes some time to chat about life at Netley Rec, his personal reflections on the season, scoring/knee-sliding at Fratton Park (in the 4-0 South Coast demolition vs Pompey!) and Project Restart. As if Danny's presence isn't enough, Greg Baker (Head of Saints Foundation) also joins us for TSP117.

This week our guest is FareShare CEO, Lindsay Boswell. FareShare are an amazing charity who save thousands of tonnes of food from going to waste ever year and use it to support vulnerable people. The food they redirect is turned into 500,000 meals each week by nearly 7,000 UK charities and community groups, including children's clubs, homeless hostels and refuges.The episode covers the scale of the issues they are dealing with (less than 5% of surplus food that could be redirected actually is), how they achieve as much as they do already (their food was turned into 28.6 million meals last year alone) and how they can do more in the future. We talk about their partnerships with supermarkets, their advocacy on behalf of food producers and how much more advanced some other countries are in redistributing their food waste.There are loads of fascinating insights into the UK food industry in this episode and it's a very accessible conversation. It will be of particular interest to those who want to understand the scale of wastage in the UK food industry and hear how it might be addressed.

As a serial entrepreneur Jeff Novich could spot a problem that meant opportunity.  His Dad had one of those problems in his medical practice.  Doctors' offices were drowning in paper and inefficient communication.  Jeff and his dad saw an opportunity to disrupt how medical offices operate and at the same time improve patient care and satisfaction.  It was a massive home run for Jeff's dad.  But in less than a year Jeff walked away in frustration. Listen to this episode to find out who made him fail fast. My Guest Jeff Novich describes himself as a "product manager who codes."  He's worked on a variety of digital products including VocabSushi.com, FareShare, GroundLink and Grocket.  He's applied his product expertise to educational technology, early ride sharing apps, medical communications and his current role is with ClassPass.com in the fitness space.  He's also has the unique experience of having been through not one, but two, accelerator programs. Jeff's credentials have that entrepreneurial quirkiness that lead to success.  He started out with a degree in Physics and Computer Science from Johns Hopkins and then moved to the softer side of academics and got a Masters in Broadcast Journalism.  For fun and relaxation, he's a regular hackathon participant. The Take Home Lessons Jeff and I had a wide-ranging conversation about product market fit and product market timing (the distinction is a key lesson), incubators and co-founders. Jeff's a classic product guy who learned a lot about the difference between a great product and a great company. Fortunately, he was able to fail fast and learn some valuable lessons. He also shares candidly about what worked and didn't work in his two different Tech Stars accelerator experiences.  Finally, the need for and value of a co-founder was crystal clear to Jeff and he shares his perspective on why the relationship worked so well at Patient Communicator.

The Playground of Life: Charitable New Book of Poetry, from London Writer, Examines War Between Ego & the Divine Self.John Lennon was absolutely right, the world needs more love. Nobody knows this better than S.R. Lore who, after being diagnosed with a long-term health condition, has spent her entire life seeing the world from a critical yet positive perspective. She, like Lennon, is committed to bringing more humanity and peace to life’s proceedings.As an accomplished poet, Lore is finally publishing her first collection titled ‘The Playground of Life’  a small book with a boundless and powerful big message.The poems in 'The Playground of Life' are mostly from personal experiences on reflection. It analyses life and relationships, especially, love. As some of the poems are written at different periods in the author's life the tone and mood changes to reflect that time and situation.Furthermore, because S.R.Lore grew up with a long-term health condition, she started exploring the meaning of life from a spiritual aspect from an early age. The poems also relate to the conflicted role that one has with oneself when it comes to spiritual matters which she call 'the war between the ego and the divine self'. “I, like millions, have always struggled in a battle between spirituality and the ego. While most let these forces pass them by, I saw it as the perfect topic to focus on through poetry,” explains Lore. “It carries a very transformative message that the world needs to hear, particularly at the current time when discord has never been more prevalent.”But Lore’s project is far from personal gain, as she proudly explains.“50% of each sale will be donated to the UCL Hospital and FareShare, two organizations that have benefited me personally yet suffer from a severe lack of funding.‘The Playground of Life’, from Spiderwize,  http://amzn.to/1BPSWLW
