Sainsbury's Peckham Queens Road Local

The Community Fridge project is aimed at reducing food wastage amongst food retailers and householders in the local area, whilst simultaneously supporting the local community by providing food at no charge. In doing to the project also provides employment, training and volunteering opportunities for local people and builds trust and a spirit of sharing within the community. The Albrighton Community Fridge can be found in the Albrighton Community Centre, Camberwell. It is open to members of the public on from Tues - Thurs from 1pm. It works on an honesty basis. There is also a second fridge where food is held specifically for organisations and charities which help vulnerable people locally. Alongside the fridge can be found a Community Cooking kit. The kit operates like a library with items such as blenders, rice cookers, slow cookers and vacuum packs on loan for week-long periods. The library intends to help local households without the means or space to own such items. The items were picked for their ability to support with food waste reduction. It is the first of its kind and you can sign up at the Albrighton Centre reception. On occasion the fridge hosts cooking workshops and other skills sharing events. We are always looking for food donations from local retailers and individuals and volunteers to support with the running of the fridge. The Albrighton Community Fridge is a part of the Hubbub Community Fridge Network.

Pecan is a community charity based in Southwark, working in this and neighbouring boroughs. We support local people who are unemployed, isolated, ex-offenders, or affected by benefit changes or low income, and empower women facing multiple barriers. Services include employment programmes, training, one-to-one support, coaching, food programmes and community activities. We have recently expanded to serve our community more and we are looking for more ways to fight hunger and food insecurity in Southwark and neighbouring areas. We have launched Peckham Pantry where community members can have access to healthy and affordable groceries as part of their weekly household shopping. We need your excess food supply to meet the needs of an increasing number of members. See link below for more information.
