About The Felix Project

The Felix Project and FareShare have recently merged to form the UK's largest food redistribution charity. Its vision is a UK where good food is never wasted, and nobody goes hungry.

The organisation rescues high quality edible surplus food from across the food industry and delivers it to over 8,000 organisations across the UK who work to strengthen communities and improve lives.

The charity manages seven depots across London, Suffolk, Merseyside and Hampshire and partners with 16 network organisations that operate a further 26 regional depots.

Over the next year our ambition is to rescue enough food nationally to provide nearly 200 million meals, turning an environmental problem into social good.
