A Community Fridge is a space that brings people together to share food, meet up and prevent fresh food from going to waste. They’re open to all and anyone can share or take food, including surplus from supermarkets, local food businesses, producers, households and gardens. Fridges are run by community groups in shared spaces such as schools, community centres and shops. There are over 600 fridges across the UK (and counting).
The Community Fridge Network is coordinated by Hubbub and brings together all UK based groups running a community fridge.
The Hinckley Community Fridge is ran by a team of Leicestershire County Council Family Help volunteers who work tirelessly to keep the project running.
Its based at Hinckley Children and Family Centre, Granville Road LE10 0PP
Opening times vary so please check the Facebook page Hinckley Community Fridge or call 0116 305 5601
Everyone is welcome, but we do ask that you only take what you need so we can support as many people as possible.
We also receive donations for petcare too.
Please bring a bag as we cant always provide one.
This is an environmental project and NOT a food bank. We cannot guarantee the amount of food we will have but we try our best to give everyone a little something.
We also have a community garden, please get in touch if you'd like to support us
