The Coronation Food Project is a ground-breaking response to an urgent and growing challenge – how can we reduce waste whilst also reducing some hunger?
The Project aims to create a fairer and more sustainable future by:
The story so far
His Majesty The King has been a champion of the circular economy, farming communities and increasing our food security for many decades.
In December 2022, supported by a personal donation from His Majesty, a £1million fund was launched. Through this fund, over 800 commercial fridges and freezers were distributed to key locations across all four nations of the UK. Together they are helping food charities rescue tonnes of additional fresh and frozen surplus food every week – food that was at risk of being wasted.
This first initiative highlighted the urgent need to do more. Food charities and community groups are continuing to face increasing demands from more people struggling to make ends meet. There remain high levels of edible food going to waste from across the food system – at farm gate, through to retailers, food services and in homes. There is huge demand for food across the UK as we head into Winter 2023.
The Coronation Food Project seeks to tackle food waste and food insecurity across all four nations of the United Kingdom.
We want to work with the food industry and food charities to support the amazing efforts of many organisations, large and small, working to reduce food waste and food insecurity.

We are very grateful to Dori Dana-Haeri for Chairing the Project’s Development Committee. Dori said ‘I was astonished by the scale of both food waste and food poverty in the UK, so I wanted to do something practical to help and I am delighted to be volunteering for the Coronation Food Project. If you share our mission to reduce food waste and feed more communities in need, we’d welcome you on board as a donor or partner.’
