Who we are

FareShare Brighton & Hove was started back in 2002 by City Gate Community Projects, with one van delivering to a handful of homeless shelters. In 2014 we became FareShare Sussex, and now we deliver across Sussex and parts of Surrey with plans to expand our reach further. City Gate Community Projects are the delivery partner for FareShare in Sussex and Surrey and form part of a national network of FareShare Regional Centres.

Our vision: no good food goes to waste in Sussex and Surrey
Our mission: to fight hunger, tackle food waste and empower volunteers through redistributing surplus food to vulnerable people
Our values: inclusivity – respect – passion – togetherness
