Butterfield Mortgages has announced a new corporate partnership with The Felix Project, London’s largest food redistribution charity, to support efforts in reducing food waste and addressing food insecurity across the capital.
The Felix Project collects surplus food from supermarkets, suppliers, and wholesalers, redistributing it to community groups, schools, and charities.
In 2024, the charity provided 38 million nutritious meals to more than 1,200 community organisations, including 170 schools across every London borough.
SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES AND SUSTAINABILITY
The partnership aligns with Butterfield’s sustainability framework, which focuses on environmental responsibility and community well-being. As part of the collaboration, Butterfield Mortgages will contribute through volunteering and donations.
Alpa Bhakta (pictured), CEO of Butterfield Mortgages in the UK, said the partnership reflects the company’s commitment to supporting local communities.
She added: “Butterfield cares about the communities it calls home, and The Felix Project is a remarkable charity that plays a vital role in supporting millions of people across London. As part of Butterfield’s overall sustainability framework, this partnership is very much aligned to our commitment to protecting the environment through sustainable consumption and supporting thriving communities through well-being.
“I am delighted that we can extend our support this year, and I know the entire team is looking forward to getting involved through volunteering and donating.”
COMBATING FOOD WASTE AND HUNGER
Louise Bingham, senior corporate partnerships manager at The Felix Project, welcomed Butterfield’s involvement.
“The Felix Project believes in a vision of a London where no-one goes hungry and good food is never wasted. We are delighted to welcome Butterfield into the Felix Family, joining us to win the fight against food waste and hunger in London.”
