The Moulsecoomb Community Fridge turns one on Saturday 21 November, with a birthday party at Brighton Table Tennis Club from 12.45pm to 2.30pm. The fridge is run by Very Local Food Hubs, a volunteer-run, not-for-profit community food project.
What is happening at the birthday party
The party takes place at the club on Moulsecoomb Way, where the fridge is based. Pizza is sponsored by Fatto a Mano, and there will be cake.
The day also marks the first Farm to Fridge weekend. Extra produce from local farmers and growers will be available for a donation, and people are asked to pay what they can afford.
How the community fridge works
The fridge is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 12.30pm to 2.30pm at Brighton Table Tennis Club, 1 Moulsecoomb Way. It is free to become a member, and it is open to anyone living in Moulsecoomb, Bevendean, the Bates Estate and Coldean, as well as members of the club.
Very Local Food Hubs says the fridge is not a foodbank and has no eligibility criteria. It is stocked partly with produce left over after the group packs its veg boxes, and it frequently has fresh fruit and veg, bread and coffee thanks to local businesses.
About Very Local Food Hubs
Very Local Food Hubs began as a response to Covid-19, with six people on a committee. It now has more than 30 regular volunteers. More details about the fridge and the group are on the Very Local Food Hubs community fridge page.
