About The Felix Project

The Felix Project is a dynamic London charity that works with food suppliers and charities and schools to reduce food waste and food poverty. We were set up in 2016 by entrepreneur, Justin Byam Shaw. 

More than eight million people in the UK struggle to afford to eat every day, while our food industry generates 100,000 tonnes of edible food waste each year. 

We rescue good food that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste.  This is high-quality and nutritious, including a high proportion of fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, salads, meat and fish.  We collect or receive food from 170 suppliers, including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delis. 

We sort and then deliver this food to charities that cook meals and prepare food parcels for vulnerable people and to primary schools to distribute to children and their families. This year we will deliver over 2,500 tonnes of food to more than 310 London frontline charities and primary schools. This is enough food to make over 6.5 million meals. 

We have 37 staff, 400 volunteers and a fleet of 20 vans.

We have 3 main operations.  Our 2 depot operations at Enfield and Park Royal and our Central London operation.  The depots are open during the day and from these we collect, sort, deliver and store surplus food using our own vans completing pre-configured routes.  Our Central London operation runs in the evening and does point to point re-distribution directly from food retailers to charities, without the need for depot storage.  The Central London operation is fully “green” and uses electric vans and walking and cycling routes to extend our reach.
