  • I Can and I Am

    I Can and I Am Brief Description of Organisation Put simply, the heart of this charity, founded by James Shone, is to inspire confidence in every individual to enable them to know who they are and what they are able to do, rather than focusing on what they can’t. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation Following a 16 year teaching career and having been offered a job as Headmaster in 2012, James was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Following 27 hours of brain surgery James unfortunately lost the majority of his sight. However, James is a man who embodies a positive attitude to life and a determination to turn setbacks into springboards. As a teacher, this was at the heart of his pastoral message and his focus now is on spreading the messages of ‘I Can & I Am’ to as many individuals across the UK and beyond as possible. Put simply, the heart of his charity is to inspire confidence in every individual to enable them to know who they are and what they are able to do, rather than focusing on what they can’t. The feedback from pupils, staff, parents and businesses following presentations by James Shone is always heart warming and immensely positive. There is no doubt that lives are changed once the messages of ‘I Can & I Am’ are integrated in to young peoples’ lives.

We were born out of the belief that no good food should go to waste, especially when people are going hungry. This belief is as central to our work now as it was 25 years ago. More than meals Our socio-economic impact report, carried out by NEF Consulting, confirms that by collecting food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributing it to good causes, FareShare saves the UK economy approximately £51 million every year. This means that by collecting food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributing it to charity and community groups, FareShare creates approximately £50.9 million of social-economic impact each year. This is made up of £6.9 million in social value to the beneficiaries themselves and £44 million in savings to the State (i.e. to the NHS, the criminal justice system, to schools and social care). Wasted Opportunity Report FareShare is making a huge contribution to the resources of the thousands of community organisations we supply food to and to the services they can provide to their beneficaries. The NatCen report ‘Saving Money, Improving Lives ’ demonstrates that, by receiving food from FareShare, these frontline organisations are better equipped to provide the adequate support to get people back on their feet. Last year, the food we redistributed contributed towards 57.3 million meals and saved the charity sector £14.1 million. Join us today to help us reach even higher.
