Every year, tonnes of perfectly good fruit is left unharvested in orchards. Farm Rescue is The Felix Project’s initiative to save that surplus and get it to people who need it most.
By joining a volunteering shift at one of our Kent orchards you’ll help prevent waste, protect the environment, and provide fresh, healthy food for families across London.
One day of your time = hundreds of kilos of fruit saved. This will be redistributed as fresh fruit, squeezed into juices, or baked into tasty treats for people facing food insecurity.
Our Farm Rescue shifts run throughout September and October at beautiful orchards in and around Kent:
Shift times: Full-day sessions, usually 09:30–15:00 (check your chosen date for exact timings).
New dates are added regularly, book early to secure your spot.

The Felix Project is London's biggest food redistribution charity. We work with businesses to rescue their good quality surplus food - food that would otherwise go to waste - and deliver it free of charge to hundreds of local charities and schools in London to help children and families, the elderly, the homeless, and more.
