Felixs

Felixs, also known as the Felix Project, is a charity based in London, UK. It rescues surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to charities and community groups across the city. The organization works with a network of farms, wholesalers, and retailers to collect edible food that is nearing its sell-by date, is slightly damaged, or has been overproduced.

The food collected by Felixs is then sorted and delivered to over 150 charities, including food banks, hostels, and community kitchens. These recipient organizations use the food to provide meals and food parcels to vulnerable individuals and families. Felixs aims to combat food poverty and reduce food waste simultaneously, addressing both social and environmental issues.

The charity was founded in 2016 by Justin Richmond and operates with a team of staff and volunteers. It relies on donations and grants to fund its operations, which include the costs of collection vehicles, storage facilities, and distribution. Felixs has grown significantly since its inception, increasing the amount of food it rescues and the number of people it helps each year. Their work contributes to a more sustainable food system and supports those facing food insecurity in London.
