ALDI CRAWLEY

We have three hubs located in central Dorking, Goodwyns and Leatherhead. where we put good, surplus food which local people can take. Our mission is to reduce surplus food from being wasted and to make it available to our community. We collect daily from local supermarkets, and also collect food from FareShare, for which we pay a fee. Since 2017 we have saved 1,737 tonnes of food from being thrown away! COVID We changed our operation to food parcel delivery to people referred to us by statutory agencies and the community. We now have 3 static fridge sites: Dorking, Goodwyns and Leatherhead and we have a Mobile Fridge on the road serving rural Mole Valley. The point is to reduce food waste, and happily, we are also reaching those in our community who find themselves in food poverty.

The Easter Team is a small Christian charity based in Crawley, West Sussex. We help local families, couples and individuals who are in crisis to feel accepted, loved, cared for and valued by providing food parcels, buying utility top ups and giving other small gifts such as toiletries and household items. We help people regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. We rely on donations of food and money to sustain this valuable work and are grateful for the support of organisations such as Neighbourly.

The East Surrey Hospital Fridge is open to everyone! It is open for business 24/7 and is located at the east entrance to the hospital opposite the multi-faith chapel. What is a Community Fridge? Community Fridges are social sites for food education and sharing. They are housed in publicly accessible places – making fresh food that would otherwise be wasted freely available to the community. Surplus perishable food is collected by our volunteers from local businesses, and from our on-site produce stall, Three Arches Restaurant and supermarkets. Food is collected as regularly as possible and then made available to anyone in the community who would like it. Community Fridges exist to reduce food waste and foster a spirit of sharing and mutual support within a community. Our Community Fridge is open to EVERYONE! The community fridge is funded by SASH Charity thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation for Surrey. Find out more about the hospital charity at www.sashcharity.org or the Community Foundation for Surrey at https://www.cfsurrey.org.uk/ Thank you to all the local businesses who kindly donate food, and to our brilliant team of volunteers who look after the fridge.
