Posted on: January 12, 2022

Co-op is working in partnership with Hubbub to offer funding to local groups for 100 Community Fridges across the UK.

Successful groups will receive:
  • £4,000 funding
  • support to set up a fridge
  • membership to Hubbub’s Community Fridge Network

Who can apply

Community groups that:
  • have not yet set up a Community Fridge
  • are not for profit
  • will set up their fridge in the next 6 months
  • will run the fridge for at least 3 years
  • have a group bank account – money cannot be paid into personal accounts
We’ll consider applications:
  • from groups that will make sure their fridge is open to everyone
  • not be used to provide emergency food
  • in areas that do not already have a Community Fridge or food project within 2 miles
  • from groups who plan to organise food related activities like cooking workshops or food growing
