Lancashire Collaborative Ministry

Community Fridge project based in Rawtenstall:

‘The Unity Fridge’ was launched on the 8th of September. This is part of a National programme where we will host one of just over 300 fridges across the country and our involvement was born out of the interfaith group that meets every two months in Rawtenstall.

​

“A Community Fridge is a space that brings people together to eat, connect, learn new skills and reduce food waste. It is a site where local people can share food, this includes 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, their main purpose is saving fresh food from going to waste.”
