Green Scheme Volunteer (City of London)
The Felix Project
The Felix Project is London's largest food redistribution charity. We rescue high quality, surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it. The Green Scheme operation is a simple A to B collection and delivery service which is primarily tackling end-of-day surplus from the food-to-go sector. Volunteers complete pre-determined routes which collect from various food suppliers and then deliver this food immediately to community organisations in the local area.
The Felix Project is London's largest food redistribution charity. We rescue high quality, surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it. The Felix Project’s Green Scheme is a simple A-to-B collection and delivery service in and around central London. We require volunteers to support our scheme by collecting surplus food from partnered suppliers; supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, delis etc. and deliver it directly to local community organisations. Unique to the Green Scheme, volunteers oversee this entire food rescue journey from start to finish, contributing to tackling both food waste and food insecurity in a single shift. The operation is called the Green Scheme because it is completely Green! Our collection and delivery methods release no emissions at the point of use, with volunteers completing routes from predetermined locations on foot, by bicycle or using one of our small electric vans. The first step to becoming a Green Scheme is to sign up and attend a mandatory online information session. When you register interest in the role we can send across the link to sign up to our info session. Our Info sessions are held online via a Microsoft Teams video call with our Green Scheme Volunteer Lead and take around 30 minutes. During the session, we’ll contextualise the work being done at Felix and explain where the Green Scheme fits within that, and cover everything you need to know before booking onto your first shift with us.
