Partners
PARTNERS
The Flat Iron Trust is currently supporting the following charitable organisations
THE FELIX PROJECT
The Felix Project rescues good, surplus food from the food industry (from supermarkets and wholesalers to farms and restaurants) and redistributes it to over 1,200 community organisations in London alone! This could be food banks, homeless shelters, and primary schools; the food is then distributed to the communities that need support the most. In 2025, over 44 million meals were redistributed in the capital.
We have a long standing relationship with the Felix Project which started in 2019 and was strengthened during the Pandemic. We are delighted to be able to partner again with the Felix Project at a time when they are extending their reach nationwide thanks to their merger with FareShare. With a nationwide prescence, they will redistribute food to over 8,000 community organisations across the UK supporting 1.5 million people every year.
GRASSROOTS FARMING
Founded by Alastair Trickett and a few other like-minded farmers, Grassroots Farming is about implementing on-farm improvements that deliver a net positive impact on the environment. Grassroots have built a set of clearly defined and measurable standards that take a holistic approach and focus on restoring ecosystems, mimicking natural grazing patterns, improving soil health, and increasing carbon capture. They aim to achieve this through investing in natural capital and recruiting as many farmers as possible to the scheme.
We are delighted to support Grassroots Farming and we hope that over the coming years we can help UK farmers, one by one transition to this way of managing their cattle and their land to deliver better beef and a positive environmental impact.
TEAM CHARITY
Every year, the Flat Iron Trust invites our restaurant teams to choose a charity for the Trust to support. The criteria are simple: the charity must operate within the health sector and address issues that have a significant impact on communities across the UK and within hospitality.
This year, two charities received an equal number of votes, and we are delighted to support them both.
CAMPAIGN AGAINST LIVING MISERABLY (CALM)
CALM is a leading UK suicide prevention charity working to tackle the devastating impact of suicide. In the UK, a life is lost to suicide every 90 minutes. Within the hospitality industry, the picture is even more concerning, with 1 in 2 people reporting experiences of suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or other negative mental health struggles.
Through its life-saving helpline, free digital support tools, and national campaigns, CALM provides vital support to those who need it most, breaking silence, challenging stigma, and reminding people that they are never alone and help is always available.
THE CHARLIE WALLER TRUST
The Charlie Waller Trust provides life-changing support to young people experiencing mental health difficulties and to the families around them. Young people are at the heart of everything they do, helping them achieve and sustain better mental health.
The Trust equips those closest to young people – families, friends, educators, communities, and employers – with evidence-based strategies, guidance, training and support to help create lasting positive change.
