FareShare Midlands, part of the national FareShare UK network, plays a vital role in fighting food waste and hunger across the Midlands from the east coast to the Welsh border. Operating from three dedicated warehouses, the charity redistributes surplus, in-date food to more than 650 local community groups, reaching 60,000 people, the majority of whom live in some of the UK’s most deprived areas.

Birmingham Supported Living (2010) provides accommodation and support for people who suffer from mental health issues, learning disabilities, physical conditions, autism and asperges. Its mission is to provide homes that are safe and supported and to provide care that enhances the quality of life for residents, who are generally seeking long term homes and support.

Golden Lane Housing is a leading provider of specialist supported housing for people with a learning disability and autistic people, providing high quality, safe homes to over 3,000 tenants across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They were established in 1998 by the charity Mencap in response to the widespread lack of suitable housing for people with a learning disability. At that time, housing options were severely constrained — with many people either living with ageing parents or placed in residential institutions that offered limited independence, choice or connection to the wider community.

Their members have complex needs and require high levels of support. To meet the needs of the members, they have specialist facilities, including fully adapted bathrooms, ceiling track hoists throughout the building, and a fleet of adapted vehicles to ensure safe and
comfortable transport.
