💚 This week the Heart of the City team volunteered at The Felix Project in Poplar!! 🥙 Our small but mighty team helped to prepare and pack close to 1,500 nutritious meals in Felix’s Kitchen using rescued food. 🚚 These meals then went on to be delivered to local charities, schools, families and individuals in need. 🫶 The Felix Project are on a mission to stop food waste, and rescue good, surplus food from the food industry that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste, and deliver it to hundreds of food banks, charities, primary schools and holiday programmes in #London. Thanks to The Felix Project for a great experience working alongside a brilliant team, and for everything you do to help combat food waste 🙌 (Last year, they gave out the equivalent of 32M meals to 1,119 community organisations and over 170 schools across every London borough - we think that’s pretty darn impressive 👏) #forceforgood #foodwaste #foodshortage #endhunger

📅 Let's talk AI!! We're pleased to announce our first Lunch and Learn for the new year 'Adopting AI Responsibly in the Workplace' joined by guest speaker Luke Budka, AI Director at Definition. Recent insights from the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBEC) reveal that while 93% of small business owners recognise AI’s potential for cost-effective solutions, many remain unaware of its broader implications, including its impact on employee stress, ethical data privacy or environmental challenges. In this online session we'll explore how to equip business professionals with the knowledge and tools to embrace AI responsibly while fostering trust, transparency, and sustainability. ⏰ 29 January 2025, 12:00 - 12.45 🔗 Book your free place here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dq4TmDPg #artificalintelligence #AIInnovation #AIForBusiness #EthicalAI #ResponsibleAI #FutureOfWork #freewebinar #businessforgood
