Eat well, save money, help the planet - community fridges are win-win for the community and the environment, a simple solution to wasting less and saving money.

They work on an honesty basis: good but surplus perishable food is donated by local businesses or members of the public and then made freely available to all who can use it.

It is a tried and tested way of stopping good food ending up in the bin and promoting a spirit of sharing and mutual support in a community.

The Hive Community Centre is thrilled to have been given a grant for a community fridge by Hubbub in partnership with Co-op and hope that their new fridge will arrive in the next few weeks.

If you would like to be part of a team that helps to make this happen, either collecting donated food or helping the make the fridge run smoothly and safely, please contact the Hive Community Centre manager Katie Chun on: 01761 360021 or email [email protected]
