King Charles III will celebrate his 76th birthday by inaugurating two food distribution hubs as part of his Coronation Food Project, aimed at addressing food poverty and waste. The King will visit a hub in south London hosting a 'surplus food festival' and virtually open another in Merseyside, northwest England.
Accompanied by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, King Charles will tour the new facility, meet beneficiaries, and engage with representatives from food banks, schools, and community groups. The Coronation Food Project has raised £15 million to establish up to 10 hubs across the UK, working with charities to save 940 tons of surplus food and provide £715,000 in community food grants.
