“I am delighted to join The Felix Project as their new chief executive officer,” Hill said. 

“Sustainability and food poverty are two of the great challenges of our times and The Felix Project is doing incredible things to address both key issues in London. 

“I’m excited to bring my experience in the voluntary and youth sectors to Felix, helping to engage the next generation around the circular economy, reducing food waste and ending food poverty. 

“I can’t wait to work alongside volunteers, colleagues, partners and organisations across the sectors to make a real difference.” 

The Felix Project chair of trustees Gavin Darby added: “Charlotte brings such a breadth of experience in the charity and campaigns sector, along with a great passion to the work The Felix Project does to tackle food waste, hunger and insecurity in London. 

“Her leadership will be pivotal for The Felix Project as we take our next steps forward as an organisation.”
