UKHarvest awarded a grant from the King Charles III Charitable Fund
We’re incredibly pleased to have been awarded a grant from the King Charles III Charitable Fund. This grant will help us in our mission to nourish our nation, by enhancing our food rescue and community work. Specifically, the grant will be used to launch a new project working in partnership with schools, to ensure families can access surplus food, social support and learn to eat well, for less.
Inspired by His Majesty King Charles III, the Coronation Food Project aims to create a fairer and more sustainable future by saving more surplus food, supercharging food distribution networks and supporting the wider sector with flexible funding. In March 2024, the Project awarded more than £700,000 in grants to 33 organisations working to reduce food waste and food insecurity across the UK.
Dame Martina Milburn DCVO CBE, Executive Chair of the Coronation Food Project said: "We know the crucial difference that grass roots organisations across the UK are making, supporting their local communities, tackling waste and reducing hunger. So, I am delighted that UKHarvest is benefitting from a grant from the Coronation Food Project. We really hope that it makes a difference and gives a real boost to local people.”
