Co-op Community Fridge Fund

A partnership between Hubbub and the Co-operative, the Community Fridge programme has reopened for autumn 2022 applications. Funding is to support community initiatives which minimise food waste across the UK.

The fund is open to UK not-for-profit groups with their own bank account, providing they:

• Are setting up a new Community Fridge which has not yet opened
• Establish the Community Fridge within six months and have intentions to sustain the project for at least three years

Priorities include:

• Supporting applications in regions with a sparsity of Community Fridges (a map can be found on the Hubbub Foundation website)
• Supporting groups in areas with high levels of multiple deprivation
• Ensuring a fair and inclusive application process with equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of background, culture or race

Each successful applicant will receive £3,000 to cover the initial costs of setting up the fridge, and a further £1,000 one year after opening.
