About the Community Fridge
The Community Fridge project was established in early 2020 to help to address food insecurity whilst addressing the issue of food waste through businesses donating food destined for landfill on a relatively small-scale basis, We then secured a new dedicated facility which has more than tripled our initial fridge & freezer equipment and shelving. Our fridge and larder continues to be a lifeline to so many as evidenced by the continuing increase in registrations and footfall. We currently have 990 members of our community fridge with on average 150 – 200 visits per week.
Brunch Club - delivered from our Community Fridge/Larder we offer a meal delivery service to those who may have limited capability to cook healthy nutritious meals for themselves.
The Community Fridge Food waste is a big issue. The average household throws away £470 worth of food every year while others live in food poverty. Most food waste is avoidable and could have been eaten had it been better managed.
The Community Fridge provides access for everyone to nutritious, surplus food at low costs. It helps people save money and reduce waste.
