Monarch’s Coronation Food Project reaches an important milestone
Buckingham Palace has confirmed a new milestone for one of King Charles’ most
meaningful initiatives. The Coronation Food Project, created to tackle food
waste and reduce hunger, has now reached its two-year anniversary.
In a joint Instagram post on 19 November, the royal family and the King
Charles Fund highlighted the progress made since the project launched. The
initiative works with partners including the Felix Project, FareShare UK and
the Institute of Grocery Distribution to bridge the gap between surplus food
and communities in need across the United Kingdom.
According to the update, fifty food businesses have joined the effort to
ensure frontline charities receive a steady supply of food. This work has
helped unlock the equivalent of eleven million meals.
Three Coronation Food Hubs are now operating in Birmingham, Merseyside and
London. These sites improve infrastructure and capacity so more food can reach
people who need support. The project has also awarded £900,000 in grants to
strengthen local efforts aimed at limiting waste and helping those facing food
insecurity.
King Charles marked the anniversary in London, where he was photographed at
Fortnum & Mason while promoting his mission to cut food waste and support
vulnerable communities.
