Fantastic to have Marsha Lacey and the Marketing and Communication team from one of our amazing partners TP ICAP come in and spend an afternoon volunteering at Felix’s Kitchen. They absolutely smashed it and helped to pack over 3,500 meals, which is incredible.   TPICAP rocked up in their caps, which is an epic example of sustainability as disposable hair nets were not needed and we'd love to encourage all our volunteers to follow their lead with this.    We're very grateful for the funding we receive from TPICAP via #ICAPCharityDay which supports us not only in delivering food weekly to a number of schools in London, but also enabled us to set up the Stratford Youth Led Pantry.     ICAP Charity Day is one of the highlights of the year for us at The Felix Project and we love being a part of it alongside all the other amazing charities that take part.   Thank you TPICAP.    #thefelixproject #tpicap #charity #volunteer

Good luck to everyone from Howden Insurance Brokers Limited who are cycling form London to Monaco over the next 10 days. That's 1,000 miles of hard peddling to raise £50,000 for charity 💚. But a feat like this deserves more than just a cheer from little old us, that's why we got in touch with the legend that is James Golding to give you a proper send off! Take it away James!

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy with the sinking of the Bayesian near Sicily. I have had the absolute pleasure of knowing Jonathan in his role at Morgan Stanley where he has been a passionate champion and supporter of the firm's partnership with The Felix Project over many years. Jonathan was always so warm and kind and took time to come out to our depot in East London and always spoke so brilliantly at the Christmas carol concerts supporting our work. I always loved sitting next to him and sharing stories of our work and lives - he always made me laugh and cared a great deal about the work we do. We often talk about the Felix family - the community of people who make our work possible - and our colleagues at Morgan Stanley make up an important part of that community, with so many coming and volunteering their time at our depots and kitchen. Our thoughts are with them all having lost such a wonderful colleague. My deepest sympathies go out to Jonathan’s and Judy’s family and friends.

Thank you to everyone that answered our urgent call to rescue plums! Thanks to you, we rescued just over 4 tonnes of plums! 4.03 tonnes to be exact. This is a truly remarkable achievement and because of your belief in what we do, your passion for preventing food waste and feeding Londoners in need, these nutritious and delicious plums are headed out to community organisations and charities all across London. We genuinely couldn't have done this without your help. Thank you 💚. And if you missed out on picking plums, don't worry! Apple and pear season is steadily approaching, so if you fancy a day out on the farm, watch this space, email [email protected] or visit https://lnkd.in/dJ4pHXV
