Apply for funding to set up a fridge

Posted on: January 12, 2022

Co-op is working in partnership with Hubbub to offer funding to local groups for 100 Community Fridges across the UK.

Successful groups will receive:
  • £4,000 funding
  • support to set up a fridge
  • membership to Hubbub’s Community Fridge Network

Who can apply

Community groups that:
  • have not yet set up a Community Fridge
  • are not for profit
  • will set up their fridge in the next 6 months
  • will run the fridge for at least 3 years
  • have a group bank account – money cannot be paid into personal accounts
We’ll consider applications:
  • from groups that will make sure their fridge is open to everyone
  • not be used to provide emergency food
  • in areas that do not already have a Community Fridge or food project within 2 miles
  • from groups who plan to organise food related activities like cooking workshops or food growing

Find out more about who can apply and what you can spend the money on in this Community Fridge funding criteria.

If you’re successful

We’ll let you know if you’re successful by 28 February 2022.

You’ll need to agree to the Hubbub Community Fridge Network (CFN) terms and conditions.
