Anna Wheddon of FareShare Sussex said: “We would like to thank Seasoned for their generous donation. We are so pleased that they contacted us so that we could help avoid leftover food going to waste by delivering it to local charities.”

Seasoned managing partner, Graham Turner, said: “Every year, 3.6 million tonnes of usable food is wasted by the UK food industry, yet at the same time, millions of people are struggling to afford it.

“FareShare’s team of volunteers is doing a fantastic job. They take the food off our hands and distribute it to where it’s needed most – for us this is a satisfying hassle-free alternative to the waste bin and we are delighted to support their much-needed service at every opportunity.”
