Nine months ago, when we launched Food For London Now from a standing start 72 hours after lockdown, we did it because we feared food poverty would soar as vulnerable families came under pressure. Initially we thought raising £3 million to support our partner the Felix Project would be enough, but as the hunger crisis deepened, we set the bold goal of raising £10 million and founding central London’s largest “social kitchen”.

We're also joined by the CEO of the Felix Project, Mark Curtin, who explains how food is distributed.
