Welcome to Love Food Share Food. We fundraise for local organisations in their work to fight food poverty, minimise food waste and support vulnerable members of our community. According to the Food Foundation, 15% of UK households were living in food insecurity as of  January 2024. Our goal is to support our chosen beneficiaries to ensure that our emergency food providers can continue their vital work.

  • Table Cards

    The simplest and most effective way for restaurants to participate. Add an optional £1 donation to diners' bills. This small addition goes a long way in supporting our cause.

    If you have surplus food and want to ensure it reaches those in need, please reach out to us at lovefoodsharefood@gmail.com. We're committed to facilitating the redistribution of surplus food in partnership with Fareshare Sussex & Surrey and Brighton Food Bank to help combat hunger in our community.

We believe that everyone deserves access to affordable, nutritious, good quality food. You can help organisations working toward this goal by donating directly through Love Food Share Food, or by participating in our table card Initiative by dining at one of our partner restaurants.

This year we are thrilled to be collaborating with the brilliant folks at Restaurants Brighton! ⁠ ⁠ Team RB knows more than a thing or two about Brighton and Hove’s fantastic food scene, and their commitment to supporting our community is what makes us such a great pairing!⁠ ⁠ RB have also teamed up with the brains at Brighton University to create a Sustainability Tool Kit to create an evidence based way to help cafes, restaurants, and pubs become more sustainable every day.⁠ ⁠ One such way is by upping your Social Sustainability, but investing in your local community like supporting local charities such as Chomp, and Brighton Food Bank by donating via the Love Food Share Food campaign.⁠ To read more about the Sustainability Toolkit and take the quiz click our link in bio!⁠ ⁠ @restaurantsbrighton ⁠ @sussexshortlist ⁠ @brightonrestaurantawards ⁠ ⁠ #SocialSustainability #SustainabilityToolKit #Restaurantsbrighton #LoveFood #ShareFood #Wearebrightonandhove #brightonandhove #lovefoodsharaefood #flourpotbakery #theflourpot #hoveflourpot #christmasmarket #brightonchristmas⁠
At LoveFood ShareFood, we are committed to making a difference with every donation and fund we receive. One of our incredible beneficiaries is CHOMP, a charity dedicated to preventing food poverty during school holidays for children in need. Many families in Brighton and Hove rely on free school meals to ensure their children have access to hot, nutritious food. When school is out, this crucial support ends— but that’s where CHOMP steps in. CHOMP provides not only hot meals to families during holidays but also hosts Holiday Clubs to offer a safe and welcoming space for families facing financial hardship. We’re immensely proud of the life-changing work they do. Want to get involved? Whether it’s through donating, volunteering, or letting us know about someone in need, we’re here to help. Send us a DM, and together we can make a difference!
