fareshare

FareShare | Our Mission

FareShare, fighting hunger and tackling food waste. At FareShare, we believe that no good food should go to waste. We redistribute surplus food to charities that turn it into meals. Millions of tonnes of good food is wasted by the UK food industry every year. At the same time, millions of people are struggling to afford to eat. Our work addresses these two issues by redistributing food industry surplus, which would otherwise go to waste, to the people who need it most.


felix

The Felix Project | Our Mission

The Felix Project is a London-based food redistribution charity. We rescue surplus food that would otherwise go to waste from 500 suppliers in the UK commercial food industry and redistribute it for free to over 1,100 community organisations, schools and holiday programmes across London. Our food is high quality and nutritious, consisting predominantly of fresh fruits and vegetables. Our vision is a London where good food is never wasted, and nobody goes hungry. Last year, we managed to rescue enough food to provide 32 million meals for London's most vulnerable people.

We are driven to end poverty, but we don’t do simple handouts of supplies or cash. Instead, we believe that everyone has the ability to increase their livelihoods and build long-term resilience by their own accord. They may just need training or connections to suppliers and customers. That’s where we come in and what we mean when we say we are “powering entrepreneurs to end poverty.”
