Grants programme

Across the UK, thousands of community organisations are actively involved in saving and circulating surplus food, and many of them are struggling with unprecedented levels of demand. In recognition of their vital role in support of the Coronation Food project’s goals, to date, £1.5m has been awarded by King Charles III Charitable Fund (KCCF) to 57 nonprofits working in some of the most deprived parts of the country.

These grants are supporting non-profit organisations to provide more food to people in need, improve coordination with retailers and restaurants, provide education and information on nutrition and cooking, and support the development of community vegetable gardens.

To date, the grants programme has enabled the rescue of 3,429 tonnes of surplus food, provided more than 6.6 million meals and directly supported almost 900,000 people.

Grants helped to reduce loneliness, build social connections, engage communities in surplus food and build skills around healthy eating.

Please note that the Coronation Food Project grants programme is currently closed.

Frequently asked questions

Have a question? We hope you will find the answer below!

The Project supports the whole sector through a grants programme. We provide flexible grants and seed funding to inspire, empower and enable community groups to find new ways to support people most in need.

Any funding opportunities will be published on our website and social media.

Our goal is to enhance the sector’s logistics capacity to redistribute more surplus food more effectively to more communities.  Coronation Food Hubs are a big part of the solution.

We aim to create a network of major distribution centres across the UK, with initial hubs being planned for Glasgow, Liverpool, Middlesborough, Birmingham and London. We hope that we will be able to establish more Coronation Food Hubs in other regions but this will be funding permitting. The locations of any subsequent hubs would be carefully considered based on an assessment of need.

The Coronation Food Project is inspired by His Majesty King Charles III, and was launched on his 75th birthday.

The King said in his message for the Big Issue ‘Food need is as real and urgent a problem as food waste – and if a way could be found to bridge the gap between them, then it would address two problems in one. To mark my 75th birthday in this Coronation year, it is my greatest hope that the Coronation Food Project will find practical ways to do just that.’

You can help in three ways:

  1. By volunteering with Felix or your local community organisation
  2. Donating to the Project – as an individual, organisation or trust / foundation
  3. Spreading the word and raising awareness of the ambitions of the Project
