GALLOWAY CHEDDAR DONATES 90,000 MEALS THROUGH GALLOWAY GATHERING PROJECT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FARESHARE

Galloway Cheddar is proud to announce the return of its nationwide community charity campaign, the ‘Galloway Gathering Project’, which will donate the equivalent of 90,000 meals and 800kg of cheese to those in need across Scotland.

Partnering once again with the UK’s largest food distribution charity, FareShare, the campaign is back and bigger than ever, aiming to tackle food insecurity and isolation through a series of events and community activations – reaching towns and villages from the west and east coasts, to as far north as Caithness.

As part of the campaign this summer, established food trucks across Scotland will cook up special cheesy dishes using Galloway Cheddar for one off fundraising days where customers will also be offered the opportunity to donate directly to FareShare.

In an exciting expansion of the project, and new for 2025, Galloway Cheddar is launching ‘The Galloway Gathering Tour’ a food and music roadshow designed to bring people together across Scotland.  The tour will visit rural towns and villages, engaging communities through good food, live music and social interaction.

GALLOWAY GATHERING PROJECT BRINGS MASTERCHEF MAC AND CHEESE TO DUNDEE IN SUPPORT OF FARESHARE

Dundee charity Just Bee Productions hosted the ‘Galloway Gathering Project’ on 30th May, a nationwide campaign that brings together Scottish cheese brand Galloway and FareShare.

At the special event in Dundee, MasterChef winner and National Chef of Scotland Gary Maclean made special portions of Mac n’ Cheese using Galloway Cheddar, which were enjoyed by attendees on the day and also distributed to those in need via FareShare’s charity partners.

Just Bee, a registered charity working on the front line to help individuals and families combat poverty in Dundee, welcomed 60 people to the event. Open six days per week and reachable by phone every day, the organisation’s services include one to one support, twice weekly free community lunches, informal social gatherings, networking with on-site health practitioners and referrals with partner-services.
