The cost of living crisis is causing suffering for millions this winter. One in five people are worried about where their next meal will come from. Parents who live near you are burdened with anxiety about how they will afford to feed their children. Families are struggling and don’t know where to turn. Yet while people go hungry, three million tonnes of surplus(剩余的) food is being wasted every year.
Fare Share is a national charity working to get that food to people who are struggling—but we need your help. A gift of £90 could provide three meals a day to a family of four for a whole month. Plus, you may be entitled to recover 25p of tax on every £1 you give as gift money.
Your gift will help us redistribute food to our network of 8,500 local charities and community groups across the UK. You’ll also help people to access other services and support through these groups, strengthening communities and easing loneliness through food.

【推荐3】Meet Caitlin. A student at the Blake School in Hopkins, 13-year-old Caitlin, is one of MATTER’s young volunteers with an inspiring volunteer story.
Back in 2020, Caitlin began to take part in a service program through her school that encourages students to volunteer during their free time. This inspired her whole family to volunteer. They bought a couple of Volunteer Kits (装备箱) and packed healthy snack packs in their home for people suffering during the pandemic (疫情). Over the course of a year, Caitlin took the challenge to raise enough money to buy snack packs for the community! But Caitlin didn’t stop there. Now her mom, Leigh, joined her at MATTER.
Caitlin explained why she was so devoted to helping people. “I think it’s really important to volunteer and give back to your community, especially when you’re offering people food, which is such an important need.” And what do Caitlin’s friends think of her passion for helping others? “My friends think it’s really cool that I have such a big commitment (奉献) to this. A couple of them are interested in volunteering next year because they’re inspired by what I’m doing at MATTER. It makes me feel good to know that others want to volunteer because I’m doing it.”
During this National Volunteer Month, we want to thank Caitlin and all of our devoted volunteers who selflessly give their time and energy to support MATTER’s mission. We know each of you has an inspiring volunteer story to tell and because of your efforts, we are able to help people launch projects that improve communities here at home and around the world. Thank you! You matter!
