Volunteering days
Brighton beach clean-up
Our team took to Brighton for a (rather damp) beach clean-up. We collected a variety of plastic and waste for recycling.
Royal Parks conservation project
We helped build and maintain the Royal Parks' dead hedges, which provide shelter for small mammals and birds.
The Felix Project
With the Felix Project team, we unloaded surplus food donations and helped organise them for redistribution to charities across London.
Refettorio Felix
We helped serve a delicious lunch to vulnerable members of the community. The Refettorio Felix team’s chefs created the three-course meals with 100% surplus goods.
