We're at IFEX 2026, Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn – 24–26 Feb 🙌

Come find our stand for recipe books & a chat about food redistribution. We'll even be collecting surplus food from the event itself 🍊

Good food feeds people, not bins.

Rising School Meal Costs Leave Families Struggling Rising school meal costs in Northern Ireland are placing added pressure on low-income families. Learn how increasing prices affect children and how FareShare NI is helping to tackle food insecurity.

School meal prices rose in Jan 2026, adding pressure for families just outside free school meal support. FareShare redistributes surplus food to schools and community groups supporting children and families. Read more: homelessconnect.org/rising-schoo...
