About Us:
The Felix Project is a dynamic, ambitious charity working to make London a city where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted.
We rescue high quality, fresh and nutritious food that cannot be sold from over 300 suppliers including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants, and delis. We sort and deliver this food to charities, schools and community projects supporting London’s most vulnerable people.
Last year, we rescued over 13.4K tonnes of food and redistributed it to over 1000 frontline community organisations and 170 primary schools in every borough of London. That’s enough food to make more than 32 million meals.
The Felix Project is growing fast in response to huge demand. Set up in 2016, we now have 179 staff working alongside 15,000 volunteers. We have four main operating depots spread across London - in Deptford, Enfield, Park Royal and Poplar, a commercial kitchen and point to point collection green scheme operating in central London and Canary Wharf.
The role:
This is a newly created role at The Felix Project to support the growing Philanthropy and Special Events function which, in 2024, is set to raise £1mn.
