The Evening Standard’s Winter Survival campaign has broken the £1 million barrier, thanks to a £500,000 donation from Sainsbury’s. This money will go towards tackling rising food insecurity in London and across the UK, and matches the amount given by our partner, Comic Relief.
Britain is a rich nation and the capital its economic engine, yet even before the cost-of-living crisis, hunger was a daily reality for many. To that end, Sainsbury’s generous donation will be split between the Felix Project and Fareshare. The first is the largest surplus food distributor in London, the second the biggest in the UK. This money will support both to supply the equivalent of 1.5 million meals for those living in food poverty.
