Community Fridge Launched to Combat Food Waste

London's first community fridge is a public fridge where people can give spare food, and those who need food can take it. It's a food revolution, one fridge at a time!

It's a big fridge in the centre of Brixton where people and businesses can donate spare food, or food that would otherwise go to waste. Others can then go to the fridge to pick up what they want. There are community fridges across Spain, Germany and beyond.

People and businesses have spare, edible food. It can be hard to get that food to people who can use it. A community fridge provides a secure and open place where we can help stop food waste and food poverty. The project was started by residents, food activists, traders in Pop Brixton, market traders, a group of Londoners who hate food poverty and hate food waste.

The fridge is managed. Organizers make sure that the food in the fridge is within date and safe to eat and clean it. The fridge is open for all to contribute. If you want to get involved 

Come along to Open Project Night, on every Monday from 6.30pm at Impact Hub Brixton. It's a free space for everyone interested in Lambeth.
