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.
