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

Community groups that:

  • not be used to provide emergency food
  • in areas that do not already have a Community Fridge or food project within 2 miles
