At least 3 million tonnes of edible food waste is generated by the UK food industry each year. At the same time, food poverty is a huge and growing problem, and almost 2 million children in the UK live in households that struggle to afford to buy enough fruit, vegetables, fish and other healthy foods.
The Felix Project provides a free door-to-door service to collect surplus food from suppliers, and deliver it to charities. In 2021, we provided food for 30,000,000 meals, and our operation is growing rapidly. We work with hundreds of charities and suppliers, helping disadvantaged adults and children get access to high-quality food. During the COVID-19 outbreak, we also delivered to London's emergency food hubs, serving people who are sick and in isolation.
Suppliers save their surplus food, which volunteers collect in Felix vans.
Warehouse volunteers sort food to meet different charities needs.
Volunteers deliver food direct to food banks, social kitchens, charities, schools and day centres.
People who would otherwise go hungry have delicious, healthy meals.
With a little help from our friends...
