The Felix Project jobs and careers

About The Felix Project

We fight food waste and food poverty by redistributing surplus good food to charities who need it. The Felix Project collects surplus fresh food from food retailers and wholesalers. We sort this in our depots and deliver it free of charge to charities and schools that provide hot meals and food parcels to people in need. This is a simple model that addresses the crucial issues of food waste and food poverty. We pass on the fresh, healthy food to charities who need it, supplying food for community kitchens, homeless hostels, food banks, refuges and charities cooking for people overcoming illness, incapacity or addiction. Our operation is simple, reliable and efficient. We have a small team of staff and more than 450 volunteers who drive our fleet of electric vans, walk or cycle to collect food from suppliers and deliver to around 1,000 charities and schools. Every hour volunteered enables 100 meals worth of food to be delivered and every £5 donated enables us to rescue £14.5 worth of food.
