About Felix
Felix is a new charity, with a long history.
We were founded in 2026 following the merger of FareShare and The Felix Project.
FareShare was founded in 1994 by Sainsbury’s and Crisis to serve homeless shelters with food. It grew into the leading national redistribution charity by forming partnerships with major supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda.
The Felix Project was started in 2016 by Justin and Jane Byam Shaw in memory of their son Felix, who died suddenly from meningitis, aged just 14. It grew rapidly to become London’s largest food redistribution charity.
