Community Fridges

What is a Community Fridge?

Community Fridges bring people together to prevent fresh food from going to waste. They are free, open to all, and anyone can take food, including surplus from supermarkets. Fridges are run in shared spaces and there are currently over 700 fridges across the UK. To find out more about the Community Fridge Network, visit the link to Hubub at the bottom of this page. 

Glen Parva Community Fridge - opening at the end of April 2025

We are setting up a Community Fridge at Glen Parva War Memorial Hall and need your help. 

Do you have a couple of hours to spare each week? We are looking for: 

• Volunteers to help at the Community Fridge
• Volunteer drivers to collect foods from local supply partners and distribute surplus after Community Fridge sessions (a full driving licence and vehicle is required). 

If you would like to apply to be a volunteer, or find out more, please email VCSHub@blaby.gov.uk, or visit our Neighbourly page (linked below).

The Community Fridge will be open from the end of April 2025 on Tuesdays from 2.30pm to 4pm at Glen Parva War Memorial Hall, Dorothy Avenue, LE2 9JD.
