In partnership with Starbucks through their 5p cup charge, Hubbub are offering funding for up to 50 community fridges.

This new funding aims to support the development of new activities relating to cooking, growing, budgeting and using surplus foods and is available to community fridges that are already open and running.

Community fridge groups can apply for grant funds of £7,000 for new activities linked to one of four themes:

1) Skills – to give the community a chance to learn about sustainable, affordable, and heathy living through workshops, events, cookbooks, or how-to-guides.

2) Affordable food - to help increase access to local and affordable food through food cooperatives, food box schemes or food markets.

3) Community connection - to help communities to come together around shared food through community meals, coffee and chats, activities for young people, and recipe sharing.

4) Growing – to support community growing and increase the amount of food grown and shared locally through community gardens, greening projects and seed or plant sharing.
