Oakham Community Fridge
Change Agents are the proud hosts of the Oakham Community Fridge. The Community Fridge is part of the national community fridge network and collects surplus food from local supermarkets, pubs, cafes, and other retailers. It's food would normally go to waste, but instead, it's made available to anyone who wants it through the Oakham Community Fridge. The food is free, but donations are welcome to help support the project and keep it running.
Reducing Waste
Since its launch in October 2020, the Oakham Community Fridge has saved a whopping 11 tonnes of food from going to landfill! In just its first week alone at it's new home in our offices, the fridge prevented a weighty 79,720g worth of food from becoming waste. That's a lot of food that's been rescued and put to good use.
Opening Times
The Oakham Community Fridge is located at the Oakham Railway Station building, and is open every Friday from 10am - 11:30am.
Everyone is welcome to come and take food from the fridge, regardless of their circumstances or background.
