Our organisation had the opportunity to join thousands of other community hero’s and volunteers from across the UK with the Fare Share Community Cookery School in partnership with Tesco and Jamie Oliver.

We also got access to to take part in three virtual masterclasses delivered by Jamie and his team. This included a demonstration of how to make a starter, main and dessert by Jamie and the experts.

Our Collect & Share Project Coordinator and community volunteer Darran Wallace was on hand to learn from the best in the business to deliver his very own masterclass demonstration to local community members who were involved in the project. We had a total of 15 families engaged and taking part in the virtual demonstration which was a huge success.

Tesco kindly donated all the food resources for the virtual Community Cookery School which meant everyone could take part using all the resources bought from Tesco.

We would like to say a special thank you to all those who took part, our team here at Breen and to Mark McRobbie Hanlon from Fare Share.

Since December 2020 we have been working with Fare Share to collect food from a range of Tesco stores and have been able to provide families throughout N. Ireland with an accessible food option for free during these difficult and testing times.

When we heard about Fare Share Go and the fantastic work they are doing we instantly knew we wanted to team up with them in helping those in need during the pandemic whilst also having a positive impact on our environment.

We teamed up with Fare Share to collect food that would otherwise get thrown out at the end of a day but was still within its expiration date. Our team of volunteers from all across Northern Ireland were on hand to collect from a range of Tesco stores including Ballymoney, Portstewart, Newtownabbey & Glengormley.
