Reduction Raider breaks bread with Leon Aarts at The Felix Project.

Alright Raiders

Leon Aarts joined The Felix Project in May 2021 as the Head of Felix’s Kitchen, our new Social Kitchen for London at the same Tower Hamlets site as our new East London depot. Leon joins us with a huge amount of experience and success founding and then running one of our closest partner charities - With Compassion (formerly Compassion London). Here Leon and his incredible team achieved outstanding success turning donated and surplus food (mostly from Felix) into over 500,000 meals since the first lockdown began, utilising donated kitchens at places like Wembley Stadium and most recently London Scottish House in Victoria. Leon joins us with huge credibility, professionalism, passion and expertise. He has previous experience as a chef, entrepreneur and seasoned professional in the restaurant and hospitality sector. He is an inspirational leader who bravely addressed the hunger and food poverty crisis amongst the 10,000 strong refugee and migrant population in the camp known as The Jungle in Calais until its closure in 2016. www.thefelixproject.org @thefelixproject
