OUR 2023-24 IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS
Fighting food poverty with The Felix Project
Nearly 2 million Londoners struggle without access to food. Responding to this hunger issue, The Felix Project is London’s leading food redistribution charity, working to get food to the most vulnerable.
Tilda is one of The Felix Project’s longest-term suppliers. We’ve worked together since it’s the project’s foundation in 2017 and our rice is an integral ingredient of many of the meals that are made in Felix’s Kitchen. In 2023, we provided over 960,000 portions worth of rice to support and feed communities in need.
Zest Quest Asia
Zest Quest Asia is a culinary competition focused on Asian cuisine, demonstrating student
competitor’s creativity and knowledge. Tilda has been partnering with Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala to deliver Zest Quest Asia since 2013 to address the gaps in skills and knowledge of classical Asian cuisine and to stimulate interest in Asian cookery as a career. For Tilda, the competition provides a platform to reach, inspire and educate a future generation of chefs.
In 2023, the Tilda Special Award was won by the University of West London for their Vietnamese-inspired four-course menu. The prize was a trip of a lifetime – a week-long culinary and cultural journey to Bangkok, Thailand.
Mary’s Meals
Mary’s Meals serves nutritious school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest countries. The promise of a good meal attracts these hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn.
In 2023, Tilda reached a huge milestone of providing over five hundred thousand school meals with Mary’s Meals. We have supported Mary’s Meals since 2018, raising £39,651. For each 5kg bag sold from our wholegrain range, Tilda donates a meal to a child through Mary’s Meals. This includes Tilda Brown & White, Tilda Brown Basmati and Tilda Wholegrain Brown Rice.
