King Charles is marking his 75th birthday by launching a pioneering initiative aimed at combatting food waste, underlining his concerns about the impact of the cost of living crisis on people’s lives and his commitment to addressing food poverty in the United Kingdom.
The inspiration for this program emerged during a conversation between the monarch and the Felix Project, now the largest distributor of surplus food to those in need in Europe. As a testament to his dedication, King Charles made a private donation to the charity and expressed his desire to support the most vulnerable.
On November 14, his 75th birthday, the King will use the Felix Project as a model and partner for the Coronation Food Project (CFP). This visionary program will also collaborate with FareShare, a national charity with a focus on reducing food waste both in London and beyond the capital.
This noble effort to combat food waste and address food poverty stands as a testament to King Charles’s commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those most in need in the United Kingdom.
