Andy Murray has marked the 20 million meals milestone between Albert Bartlett, FareShare and the Felix Project.
Murray visited the Move On facility in Glasgow, where he toured the Coronation Food Project Hub to mark the occasoin.
The hub aims to supercharge the region’s ability to rescue, sort and redistribute good-to-eat surplus food and get it to charities that are supporting those experiencing food insecurity. The facility will officially open in a few months’ time.
Murray followed a potato’s journey through the hub and spent time with volunteers and charity partners to hear more about the difference this work makes.
“Seeing the work happening here in Glasgow has been really inspiring,” said Murray. “It’s brilliant to be part of a partnership that has now helped provide 20 million 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.”
For Albert Bartlett, the milestone reflects more than 15 years of partnership with FareShare and The Felix Project. It reached 10 million meals in March 2023 and 15 million meals in February 2025.
“We are extremely proud to have reached 20 million meals through our partnership with FareShare and The Felix Project,” said John Heginbottom, Albert Bartlett sales director. “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.”
The potatoes are distributed across the UK by the two organisations with the help of Move On, one of the 17 network partners that manages the FareShare Glasgow and West of Scotland depot.
“It has been especially momentous to host it at our fantastic new hub which strengthens our ability to rescue and redistribute more good food to charities across Glasgow and the west of Scotland,” said Paul Sullivan, CEO at Move On. “Partnerships like this are vital in helping us respond to growing need while building stronger, healthier communities.”
