King Charles to Launch Food Hubs for 76th Birthday

The King's initiative aims to tackle food waste and support communities as part of the Coronation Food Project's first anniversary.

  • King Charles will celebrate his 76th birthday by opening two food distribution hubs, marking the first anniversary of the Coronation Food Project.
  • The initiative is designed to save and redistribute surplus food to charities, helping organizations like FareShare and the Felix Project.
  • A 'surplus food festival' will be hosted at one of the new hubs, featuring meals made from food that would otherwise go to waste.
  • The project has already saved 940 tonnes of surplus food, equivalent to over 2.2 million meal portions, and aims to expand with up to 10 hubs across the UK.
  • Over £15 million has been raised to enhance the food distribution network, including funding for warehouses, refrigerated vehicles, and community grants.
