Community Fridge Fund

The Community Fridge Fund provides grants to UK not-for-profit organisations to develop Community Fridges across the United Kingdom. A Community Fridge is a space where everyone can share surplus food, including donations from local food businesses, producers, households and gardens. The Environmental charity Hubbub Foundation coordinates the world's largest Community Fridge Network with over 300 fridges across the UK and has partnered with Co-op to fund 500 fridges by the end of 2023. Grants of up to £4,000 are available to non-profit organisations across the UK to establish a new Community Fridge to minimise food waste, with 50 awards available in each round. Once set up, groups will be part of the 300+ member strong Community Fridge Network which helps redistribute surplus food from businesses and households within the community, saving it from going to waste and bringing people together. The Community Fridge Network offers free guidance and a wealth of resources to groups wanting to set up their own community fridge, including comprehensive support, design assets, peer support, health and safety templates as well as discounted fridges and freezers. Anyone and everyone can share and gift from a Community Fridge.
