The Felix Project

Who we are

The Felix Project is a London charity working with food suppliers and charities to reduce food waste and food poverty. We collect food from supermarkets, wholesalers and other food suppliers - food that is fresh and nutritious, but cannot be sold for various reasons. We deliver that food free of charge to charities which provide meals, snacks or food parcels for their clients, including the elderly, the homeless, people with mental health issues, refugees and asylum seekers and vulnerable families and children. We simply want to see good food go to good causes.

Our culture and values

Take great food that's at risk of going to waste while being perfectly safe to eat. Add a kitchen, hundreds of volunteers and a bunch of amazing chefs who transform this food into delicious meals. Season with enthusiasm and care. Add hundreds of community organisations across London to distribute the Felix Meals to people at risk of going hungry.

You have the recipe for Felix's Kitchen.

We are pretty chuffed to have been able to save so much surplus food and feed thousands of Londoners every day, but sadly this is nowhere near enough. In the UK, 10 million tonnes of food is wasted every year. Every day, in London alone 400,000 children go hungry.

Every day, our amazing team of staff and volunteers chop, slice, cook and pack enough food to feed over 4,000 people a day, and counting!

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The Felix Project recognises the positive value of diversity and is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce.  We understand that certain groups (for example disabled people, women, and people from ethnic minorities) are less likely to apply to roles where they do not meet all of the criteria. For this reason, we actively encourage people to apply if they think they can do the role, even if they do not meet all of the requirements. We are also keen to encourage applications from those with identities that are currently underrepresented within the charity sector.
