Mash & The Felix Project

We work very closely with The Felix Project, a truly thought-provoking and inspiring local charity, that collects good quality food from suppliers and redistributes to charities and schools so that those most vulnerable get a healthy meal or snack. Put simply, they save food and help to change lives.

The relationship with The Felix Project is brilliant, each day one of their drivers pops into Mash and collects our 'less than perfect' produce – this is still first class quality fruit and veg, both fresh and prepared, but not the quality that we would want to send out to our customers. We are the biggest fresh produce supplier to The Felix Project and in 2018 our donations equated to an estimated 143,752 meals!

We hope that you share our passion for working to reduce food waste and helping those most in need!
