Albrighton Community Fridge

London, UK

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.

Elimhouse Community Association Southwark

London, UK

Elimhouse Community Association is a leading day care organisation for the elderly based in Southwark, South East London. Formed in 1980, we have many years of experience providing day centre facilities for Caribbean elderly people in the area. Our organisation runs a full time day centre which creates leisure time actives and day time community care. Service users are mainly, but not exclusively Caribbean, African and other BME elderly people, who are over 60. An innovative organisation, we are committed to the principle of opportunity and participation equality to ensure the achievement of our purpose. Our aims at Elimhouse are to provide care and support, assess individual needs and promote the well being of service users, develop and create activities that engage service users. Where necessary, we also support carers to ensure we are making a real impact in our local community. One member recently told us: "I like the people I meet here. It was also very comforting attending the Centre during my bereavement for the loss of my dear husband." Another has said: "The transport of the centre makes my life easier and less burden for my family. I also like the lunchtime and the food is great."
