Arla will be providing Cravendale milk and Nestlé will give cereal, including Shreddies, to contribute towards breakfasts for organisations supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged people.

The partnership builds on the longstanding relationships between the food manufacturers and FareShare, with Arla having diverted the equivalent of 10m meals and Nestlé having contributed to providing the equivalent of more than six million meals since 2005.

Last year alone, Nestlé contributed towards 220,000 meals that were distributed to more than 2,500 different charities and organisations across the country.

The initiative also comes as Arla and Nestlé are both part of the Coronation Food Project, which was launched last November, and looks to see the food industry collaborating on new ways to address food insecurity and reduce food waste.
