The charity that the Evening Standard helped launch in 2016 to tackle food poverty and waste in London was on Tuesday given more than £3.1 million, along with the Mayor’s Fund for London.
The Felix Project, London’s biggest food redistribution charity and the beneficiary of our Food for London campaign, was given the emergency funding by Sadiq Khan to prevent London schoolchildren going hungry during the holidays. The Mayor called on the Government to do more to combat school holiday hunger nationally as he revealed plans to spend £3.5 million on about 10 million meals for low-income families in the capital over the next year.
