Community Fridge Setup Fund

Community Fridge Setup Fund

Can you imagine a community fridge in your neighbourhood?

Hubbub and Co-op have teamed up to help make that vision a reality. The Community Fridge Setup Fund supports local groups across the UK to tackle food waste and bring people together by sharing surplus food.

Since launching, the fund has already helped 381 communities set up their own fridges — and it's coming back in autumn 2025!

If you're passionate about reducing food waste and want to create a space where your community can connect, start planning now and check back when the fund goes live.
