FareShares Food Co-op

Established by local people back in 1990, FareShares is a community-run food co-op which aims to make healthy food affordable. We stock a range of dry goods, fresh organic fruit, veg, bread and various household products.

All of our stock is sourced as locally and ethically as possible, much of it is organic and all produce is animal-, sugar- and GMO-free. We also support other co-operatives and collectives working for fair trade and social justice.

FareShares is a non-profit project. We buy in bulk and then sell produce as cheaply as we can. A minimal mark-up is added to allow us to cover some of our expenses and increase the range of stock.

FareShares relies on individual's time and energy and everyone who works here is a volunteer. We always welcome new people to get involved - as well as doing shifts, there are plenty of other ways to help out. We operate as a collective, with meetings on the first Sunday of the month.

We estimate that we need to raise £200 a month to cover rent, rates, bills etc so please donate what you can to the jar or consider filling in one of our standing order forms.

We recently secured a 10 year lease from Southwark Council and so have done a lot of reurbsihment work to make the building a nicer, safer, cleaner and more comfortable place to visit.

If you would like more info or to get involved just pass by during opening hours or email us at faresharesAThotmail.com (replacing AT with @)
