Charities

The Felix Project

Right now, millions of people in the UK regularly experience hunger. Yet tonnes of surplus fresh food is thrown away every day. Inspired by Felix, we set out to change this. No one should have to miss a meal.

The Felix Project collects fresh, nutritious food that cannot be sold. We deliver this surplus food to charities and schools so they can provide healthy meals and help the most vulnerable in our society.

The Kids for Kids

KIDS FOR KIDS transforms the lives of the forgotten children of Darfur, Sudan. There is no water, no electricity, no roads, little education – and no health care. Children live in huts made of straw, they sleep directly on the sand. Water is miles away across the desert, and this year they face starvation in the wake of the worst drought for years followed by devastating floods. Children are hungry, thirsty and living in conditions that shouldn’t exist in the 21st Century. We must do something now.
