The King has visited London’s largest food redistribution charity to see how meals are provided to some of the capital’s most vulnerable people.

Charles met with staff, volunteers and Evening Standard proprietor Lord Lebedev at the Felix Project during a tour of its warehouse and kitchens in Poplar, east London, on Wednesday.

The charity was set up in 2016 to tackle food waste and food poverty by founders Justin and Jane Byam Shaw in memory of their son Felix.

It was the partner charity of the Standard’s Food for London Now appeal that helped set up its social kitchen Felix’s Kitchen, where chefs take surplus food ingredients from the charity’s depot and turn them into meals.

The Felix Project rescues high-quality surplus food from farms, food manufacturers and supermarkets before distributing it to around 1,000 community groups and schools across London.

It supplies foodbanks, homeless shelters, domestic abuse refuges and more than 170 schools across all of the capital’s boroughs.

This summer, Felix will distribute its 100 millionth meal since opening.
