The aim of Talking Tree’s Community Fridge project is to reduce the amount of waste food going to landfill. The food is available to anyone who visits during the opening hours. Come along and see how it works and chat to our dedicated team of volunteers.

Talking Tree

Free Event

Talking Tree is part of the Community Fridge Network that is coordinated by Hubbub. Community fridges are a tried and tested way of reducing the environmental impact of food waste. Every year, the UK bins a shocking 6.4 million tonnes of edible food—worth a staggering £21 billion (WRAP, 2023). And if food waste were a country, it would be the third biggest emitter of greenhouse gases globally.

All across the UK, fridges have become the centre of the community. As well as stopping good food from going to waste, people can also take part in other activities, learning new skills such as how to grow or cook food, or simply drop in for a chat.
