Rescuing food for fuller lives

We are Felix. We deliver 5 meals a second to 1.5 million people across the country – and we couldn’t do it without people like you. A billion good meals go to waste every year and we’re here to change that.

Who we are

We rescue great food and get it to people who need it – supporting 1.5 million people across the UK, alongside 16 other independent charities, 18,000 volunteers, and thousands of partners.

The 8,000 charities and community groups we support provide more than just a meal. They provide connection, dignity and hope. We turn an environmental problem into a social opportunity.

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.
