Community Fridges are a community based way of redistributing food that would otherwise be wasted and go to landfill. We accept food that is before or at its 'best before' date, and get it to people who will be able to use it. By doing this we connect our community - allotments, shops and individuals - taking from places of surplus and distributing to people who will eat it. We encourage sharing of ideas and recipes, creating friendships along the way.

As well as church, the charity operates Jubilee Church Life Centre for the community. We run a café 5 days a week, giving away refreshments and food, clothing and support from our on site team. People from other nations are given the opportunity to practice spoken English, and attend our Chat café . We have two vibrant parent toddler groups .Youth and children with difficult life issues and health problems have music and media projects, learning musical instruments, filming , editing and we have a busy youth night too .
