Müller UK & Ireland has today reached a significant milestone: donating the equivalent of four million meals through its partnership with FareShare, the UK’s largest food redistribution charity.
This ongoing partnership supports vulnerable people across the UK by transforming surplus and donated food into vital meals.
FareShare redistributes good-to-eat surplus food and donations from the food industry to a network of over 8,500 charities and community groups, from breakfast clubs and hospices to domestic abuse refuges and homelessness services.
Müller said its consistent donations of dairy products, such as milk and yogurts, are helping ensure that no good food goes to waste, especially at a time when demand for food support is at an all-time high.
The dairy major added that the relationship with FareShare forms a key part of its Sustainability Action Plan, and reflects a shared belief: that no food should be wasted, and fundamentally, food has the power to strengthen communities, support wellbeing, and reduce environmental impact.
“Our purpose goes beyond simply making dairy products: we’re here to play our part in supporting the people and communities who need it most. Working with FareShare has enabled us to make a direct impact by providing nutritious dairy products to those who might otherwise go without it,” Victoria Bryant, culture lead at Müller UK & Ireland, said.
“This partnership brings to life what our Stronger Communities pillar within our Sustainability Action Plan stands for - real action, positive change, and meaningful support where it’s needed most.”
Kris Gibbon-Walsh, chief executive of FareShare, commented: “Müller’s ongoing support has helped us deliver millions of meals to people facing hardship. Their commitment to building stronger communities mirrors our own values, and its contributions continue to make a real difference in lives across the country. We’re proud to work alongside them.”
As part of this milestone, Müller and FareShare will be celebrating at their combined work at FareShare’s Merseyside depot, where volunteers will be invited for a guided tour and a presentation on how FareShare is transforming surplus food into essential support for communities. The event will spotlight the real-world impact of these donations and the growing need for industry-wide action to fight food insecurity and reduce waste.
