Bestway has called on the industry to support the Felix Project charity in the form of donations throughout the coronavirus crisis.
In February last year, the wholesaler began supplying surplus stock and much-needed supplies to the charity which collects fresh, nutritious food that cannot be sold, and delivers this surplus food to charities and schools so they can provide healthy meals and help the vulnerable people in society.

Dawood Pervez, managing director of Bestway Wholesale said: “The Felix Project is an invaluable charity providing nutritious food to those in need, and we applaud what they are doing now more than ever, when so many vulnerable people are in need of food that they aren’t in a position to buy.
“It takes a lot of hard work and planning for any business to implement social distancing and new health and safety measures so as to continue a delivered operation and so to see the Felix Project team having achieved this and even expanded their operations so that smaller charities and dependent organisations including the homeless, survivors of domestic abuse and refugees can still get the food they need is highly commendable,” he added.
