Community fridges are open to everyone in communities – without any need to be referred or having to prove eligibility – to share fresh food that would otherwise have gone to waste. The food is donated by businesses – with the Co-op donating surplus food from its stores.
As well as improving access to food, the fridges go beyond this by empowering communities to connect with each other and learn new skills through activities such as cookery sessions and workshops on how to grow your own fruit and veg.
