Community Fridge Volunteer
You will be redirected to the Volunteer Essex website to express your interest.
Food waste is a big issue in the UK. It is estimated that a third of all food gets wasted. Most of this is avoidable and could have been eaten had it been better managed.
The Dunmow Community Fridge, run by Uttlesford Community Action Network, will help cut food waste and build stronger bonds within the community. Once the food has been collected from our project partners, it can then be offered free of charge to anyone wishing to visit the Community Fridge.
Community Fridge Volunteers are responsible for the collection of food from our suppliers, currently located in the Dunmow area. The Volunteers ensure the fridge is appropriately stocked, cleaned and maintained. Very basic record keeping (such as fridge temperature) is required.
Volunteers can be flexible on their availability. The fridge is open from Monday to Friday and volunteers are encouraged to co-ordinate their availability with others Community Fridge Volunteers already on the rota. The role should take no more than an hour a day.
What skills do I need?
Basic Food Hygiene Level 2 is useful, but not a necessity for all volunteers (Online training can be provided)
A clean driving licence and access to a vehicle is preferable in order to pick up food.
