Tindle’s Partnership with FareShare

2025

In July 2025, Tindle Newspapers demonstrated the power of local journalism to drive meaningful change through its new partnership with the food redistributor charity, FareShare. By donating £100,000 worth of advertising space across newspapers, websites and its digital streams, the publisher used its reach to amplify the work of the charity, whose work involves redistributing surplus food to over 8,000 frontline charities and community groups across the UK.

Tindle committed its news brands to sustained editorial coverage across its titles in Wales, the South-West of England, Sussex and Surrey, ensuring that FareShare’s mission and campaigns received visibility.

Charities and community groups receiving food via the FareShare network include schools, refuges, community centres, faith groups and homelessness shelters. The food provided supports local charities to provide a range of essential services to people in need, while also enhancing employability, reducing isolation and helping to build important connections.

The partnership also included a call to action for Tindle staff, encouraging them to volunteer at FareShare centres in their regions – a reflection of how this partnership showed Tindle’s strong public service ethos, reinforcing the publisher’s role as an active participant in the communities it serves and helping to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

Tindle Newspapers managing director Scott Wood said: “We know because of our presence in towns and communities across Southern England, Wales and the Isle of Man that families are feeling the pinch.

“That is why we are delighted to announce this partnership with three of FareShare’s network partners, to publicise their amazing work and help to promote their campaigns and appeals.”

“Tindle Newspapers is an integral part of that local picture, so this partnership feels genuinely special – we’re so thankful for their support.”
