Tennis ace celebrates Albert Bartlett x FareShare/Felix Project
FORMER tennis pro Andy Murray has helped mark the 20million meal donation milestone in the Albert Bartlett food charity partnership with FareShare and The Felix Project.
Murray visited the Move On facility in Glasgow where he toured the new Coronation Food Project Hub, a facility that works to strengthen the region’s ability to rescue, sort and redistribute good-to-eat surplus food to local charities.
While the facility will officially open in a few months’ time, Murray toured the new building and followed a potato’s journey through the hub and spend time with volunteers and charity partners to hear more about the difference this will make for charities in the West of Scotland.
Murray said: “Seeing the work happening here in Glasgow has been really inspiring. It’s brilliant to be part of a partnership that has now helped to provide 20million meals to those that need them most and to meet the people making such a real difference in local communities.
“The new Coronation Hub is amazing – what they do to redistribute food is so important.”
This donation milestone has also helped to mark the 15th anniversary of Albert Bartlett’s partnership with FareShare and The Felix Project. Through this, the vegetable grower has been able to provide potatoes and other surplus produce to the charities to help deliver meals for millions of people across the UK.
Albert Bartlett reached 10million meals donated in 2023, 15million meals by February 2025 and has now reached the 20million mark. The firm has said this showcases how the partnership continues to go from strength to strength over the years.
John Heginbottom, sales director at Albert Bartlett, said: “We are extremely proud to have reached 20 million meals through our partnership with FareShare and The Felix Project.
“This milestone is a testament to the dedication of our teams and charity partners, and to the power of working together to reduce food waste and support families facing food insecurity. Seeing that work come to life in Glasgow makes it especially meaningful.”
