GOOD FOOD FOR GOOD CAUSES

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.

we deliver to Brettenham Primary school weekly in term times , for more information on which day of the week  please call the school office on 0208 3456055
