About The Felix Project
The Felix Project is London's leading food redistribution charity. We rescue surplus food from businesses, supermarkets, restaurants and farms. This food is nutritious, in-date, and safe – and includes a high proportion of fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. If Felix did not rescue this food, it would be thrown away and wasted. Instead, we deliver it completely free of charge to local charities, schools, food banks, COVID food hubs and other organisations serving people in need. Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly and keyworkers. Our vision is a London where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted.
The Felix Project is a very ambitious and dynamic young charity. We haven’t stopped growing since we were founded in 2016 in memory of Felix Byam Shaw, by his father, entrepreneur Justin Byam Shaw. Right now, we are running a very high-profile media fundraising campaign with the Evening Standard and Independent, which is on track to raise 10 million pounds. We have had celebrity endorsement from the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Jack Whitehall. This winter, we will partner with FareShare to run their London depot independently. By the end of 2020, we plan to have delivered enough food for 20 million meals. We have huge growth plans for the next 4 years – aiming to have the capacity to deliver food for 100 million meals by 2024. This will be enough to almost eradicate hunger in London.
