At Luscombe, we’ve always believed that good food and drink should be something everyone can enjoy, not a privilege, but a right. That belief sits at the heart of our ongoing partnership with FareShare South West, a charity doing vital work to tackle both food waste and food insecurity across the region.
Over the past year, we’re proud to have donated more than 23,000 drinks to support their mission. From refreshing Sicilian Lemonade to our award-winning Hot Ginger Beer, these drinks have been redistributed to charities, schools, and community groups, bringing moments of comfort and an extra special treat to those who need it most.
And the impact goes beyond drinks donations alone. Thanks to the generosity of our customers, we’ve also raised £123 through optional webshop donations since January, helping to fund even more meals for people facing hardship.
“The vast majority of the food we share is good-to-eat surplus, predominantly fresh fruit, veg and dairy – brilliant for tackling the injustice of who gets to access a healthy diet. However, variety and choice bring dignity and comfort. Donated drinks from Luscombe add something special, and if you’re struggling to get by, that’s so meaningful. We’re very thankful for their support.”
Lucy Bearn, FareShare South West CEO
“In 2025, Exeter Food Action received a fabulous 121 kgs from the lovely Luscombe drinks. We support frontline organisations across Devon, all of whom are incredibly grateful for the basics we provide. However, being able to provide a premium brand such as Luscombe drinks is truly wonderful. The drinks are so welcome, so well received and faces genuinely light up! Thank you Luscombe drinks!”
Wendy Kearns, Manager at Exeter Food Action
Together, we’re proving that small acts of generosity can make a meaningful difference. To FareShare South West, Exeter Food Action, our customers, and our team, thank you for the incredible work, generosity, and compassion that make this support possible.
