Community Fridge Success: 34.5 Tonnes of Food Saved

Did you know that since the community fridge launched in April 2022 we have saved over 34.5 tonnes of food waste from going to landfill.

Our dedicated volunteers go out three nights a week to collect usable food from local supermarkets and make it available Tuesday to Thursday each week from our community fridge from 10am – 1pm.

Thanks to our volunteers in the hub you can access food that would otherwise go to landfill but is perfectly usable.
