Simple steps to a significant impact Even small percentages of regular surplus add up over time. Any amount is worth talking to the The Felix Project and FareShare team about, who are hands on in coming up with bespoke solutions for each organisation. Some companies fill a dolav with food each week for volunteers to pick up, where others have pick-ups every day in larger quantities.

Businesses can worry about damage to their brand reputation caused by imperfect products being in the public domain, or food not being kept at the right temperature. But we have robust supply chains in place with carefully managed temperature- controlled environments, and ways to relabel or repackage products to maintain brand reputation. It really is easier than it might seem.” David Stokes Head of Strategic Sourcing Alliance Food Sourcing
There is a perception that manufacturers need to save
large amounts of surplus for it to be worthwhile but that is not the case. Regular surplus that can be simply extracted is available on far more sites than people realise. Look for repeatable instances of surplus, then get in touch with The Felix Project and FareShare who can work out how to get that particular type of food to the right partners, in the right packaging
with the right storage and transportation options.” Matthew Knox Director, Newton
