Bostall Community Library in Bexleyheath and Belvedere Community Centre are working with local food businesses, supermarkets and allotment holders to collect quality food that would otherwise be wasted.

The fridges also accept donations from the public, items accepted include unopened packaged foods, cheese, table sauces, pastry, pasteurised milk and yogurt, fruit juices, salads and fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs with the British Lion mark and date

The new fridges are also helping to put residents in touch with other healthy eating initiatives, including free cooking workshops and how to claim Healthy Start vouchers – a Government scheme which provides free vouchers for eligible families to buy fruit, vegetables and milk
