Our Mission Fripps Farm was founded in 2020 by Jodie Marsh, former glamour model, bodybuilder and documentary maker. Jodie had wanted an animal sanctuary her whole life and it was her mum’s passing that made her realise that life is too short and that she needed to get on and do it and so it began. It snowballed very quickly, starting with some dogs and a couple of goats to where we are now with over 250 animals. Jodie will take any animal that needs a home. Jodie’s aim is to give animals the best possible life, catering for all their needs and also to give them the love that they need. Jodie has saved many animals from slaughter and she plans to save lots more!! Jodie will take the animals that no one else wants and Fripps Farm has been the last resort for many of the animals here, when nobody else would take them. Fripps Farm adheres to the 5 freedoms of animal welfare act which is globally recognised as the gold standard in animal welfare, meaning the animals get everything they could possibly need to keep them healthy and happy. If for any reason Fripps Farm can’t home an animal then Jodie will find it the best possible home. Fripps Farm is now a C.I.C (Community Interest Company) which is similar to having charity status. We are officially recognised as being a “service to the community” (to animals and wildlife). It means that we can receive donations and help with funding. It also means that we are very transparent and that our accounts must show where the money is being spent. The money we receive MUST go on the cause! Jodie and all the animals are SO grateful for all the help they have received so far from Jodie’s followers. Jodie always says she couldn’t do it without her followers!

We are a non-profit food redistribution project (charity) registered with Chelmsford City Council. We rescue surplus food from local retailers in the CM1 area and provide it to the community to reduce waste and support local residents. We aim to operate 1–2 days per week, collecting surplus (ambient and chilled) from local partners and making it available via food parcels/drop-ins. Our Priorities: Reduce Food Waste: Keeping good, edible food from going to landfill. Support our Community: Providing access to healthy, rescued food for residents in CM1.

- Religious activities - The general public/mankind - Provides buildings/facilities/open space - Provides services We are based in Chelmsford and meet every Sunday for a service at the Springfield Parish centre. We assist the general public with religious faith, emotional and physical support, financial and food support to the needy in the church and in the entire community. We have existed since 2021 and have been operating free of charge to all those who access our services. We are looking to receive food surplus and grants to assist the individuals we support in the community due to financial hardships among the low-income families. We do not charge for the support we render, and it is accessible to everyone who requires it. Food donations are distributed for free using our church car to individuals in their homes or at church premises.
