Hive are partnering with The Felix Project, supporting their mission to fight food waste and hunger across London. Over the Christmas and New Year period, EV charging experts Hive will provide charging for The Felix Project’s fleet of 27 electric vans, helping deliver surplus food to thousands of families in need.

The Felix Project rescues high quality surplus food that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste. It is then distributed to over 1,200 community organisations and schools across London that are helping to feed people experiencing hunger. 

Last year, The Felix Project redistributed the equivalent of 38M meals.

Director of EV at Hive, Susan Wells commented “We hugely admire the incredible work The Felix Project is doing. Partnering with them to charge their electric vehicle fleet is a perfect example of how technology can power positive change. Every charged van helps deliver surplus food to those who need it most - turning clean energy into real support for families across London.”

Hive and parent company Centrica are committed to continuing to with The Felix Project in 2026.

Will Savage, Head of Corporate Partnerships at The Felix Project added “Having an EV fleet has helped us keep transport costs down, which means more resources can go directly to feeding families. Winter is a particularly challenging time for families, we recently found almost 1 in 4 (23%) of working parents in the UK have turned to a food support service in the last year to help them put food on the table so keeping food moving to where it’s needed most is vital and partnerships like our one with Hive are very welcome.”
