South Brent Community Fridge: SHARE FOOD - SAVE WASTE! Have you ever wondered what to do with that spare food? The South Brent Community Fridge is installed near the centre of the village by side of the entrance to the Old School Community Centre (blue Louvre boiler room door) and is being well used. It is open 24hours a day. Surplus and end of line food is collected by volunteers from supermarkets and local businesses, who would otherwise be disposing of it, and put in the community fridge for anyone to take what they wish. If you have spare food yourself, if you are going on holiday or have extra vegetables in your allotment, you can also put it in the fridge. NB. Due to food hygiene regulations, we can’t accept any meat or fish products. Guidelines on what food is safe to share are posted by the fridge, and it will be checked daily by the dedicated volunteers. It’s a win-win situation for the environment and the people of South Brent. Please use it!!!

Drivers needed: We have a growing list of retailers who want to give their surplus to the Community Fridge. We need more volunteer drivers to deliver it to the fridge. Can you spare a few hours a month? – be part of a friendly, enthusiastic, group, creating a thriving, sustainable community?
