Who this task will support
The Felix Project
The Felix Project is a London-based food redistribution charity set up in 2016 to tackle food waste and hunger.

The Felix Project collects surplus food from food retailers and wholesalers, and redistributes it to charities and schools that provide food for those in need. The operation has 4 depots in London and delivers around 4 tonnes of food each day with the help of 400 volunteers.

The team are keen to have as many GoodGymers join their Saturday Tower Hamlets sessions as possible!

What this involves

  • This task will be overseen by the Felix Project team, who are very familiar with volunteers.

  • Activity will include: checking ‘use by’ and ‘best before’ dates; categorising and recording food; assembling food orders placed by charity and community groups. Read how Sander got on last weekend here.

  • For both our Saturday sessions, you will be offered a hot meal, served to the team around 1pm, as part of this activity.

  • We have listed these sessions in two-hour time slots as a minimum time commitment, but you are welcome to stay longer.

  • Feel free to take a few pics and scribble a few lines for a run report (we'd love to see how you got on, and we'll aim to include it in our weekly email :) )

  • I oversee this task, but will not be there on the day. Any issues or questions, don't hesitate to get in contact: laura@goodgym.org - Laura

  • (In addition regular GoodGymer Ricardo also volunteers at the depot every Saturday, so any problems, you can also ask for Ricardo on site).
