Holidays shouldn't mean hunger

Children across the capital are facing hunger this summer. But it doesn't have to be this way. A donation of £45 enables us to rescue enough food to feed three children across this school holiday.

Help us fix the equation

We surveyed over 9,100 teachers across England and found 67% expect at least one student in their class to experience hunger in the summer holidays. We did the sums and this could mean around 675,000 school children in England experiencing holiday hunger.

Summer should be a time of fun, laughter and enjoyment, but children across the capital are facing the prospect of going hungry. We are putting on hundreds of extra deliveries over the next 6 weeks to ensure children and families have access to healthy and nutritious food. But we urgently need your support.

Help London children this summer!

“ I know when schools are closed, they worry because kids are not getting their free school meal. I know of a family with five children, and sometimes she hasn't got food in the cupboard. This saves them and other families from having to send their children to bed with no food, I hear of some who just have a glass of water for dinner and go to bed hungry, but with this they then have something to give their children. ”

Althea, Dene Community Centre

“ Everyone gets breakfast, then a lunch and what's really great is we also receive the Heat and Eat meals, so everyone who came could take them home and get a hot dinner. So, we can actually help our families with their finances, because they find that the holidays are really expensive. ”

Gemma, Art4Space

“ I had an email from one resident saying… without NW5 and the food package during the holidays, I don't know how we would manage. They've become a real anchor for us and make life decisions a lot easier and it’s good to be able to share the money we save from getting food throughout our large household. ”

From as little as £15, you can make a difference for children this summer.

Why Felix?

The Felix Project believes in a vision of a London where good food is never wasted and no-one goes hungry. We rescue good, surplus food from the food industry that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste and deliver it to hundreds of food banks, charities, primary schools and holiday programmes in London.

"This is my son Felix, who died suddenly from Meningitis in 2014. Felix was full of compassion for those without his advantages and, in early 2015, I was searching for a way to commemorate him. What stuck in my mind was a boys’ football tournament, he’d played in. Felix told me he’d been upset to learn that many of the 10-year-old boys on the opposing team hadn’t had anything to eat that day."
