Local Community Fridges, Food Surplus Tables, and Food Clubs have started to grow across North Somerset to support fairer access to food. They share free or heavily discounted food that would have otherwise gone to waste. As well as distributing food, these spaces are a great way to meet people, try new foods, and to find out about the other food-based initiatives in your local area.

Fridge of Free StuffThe Fridge of Free Stuff is located in The Sovereign Shopping Centre, Weston-super-Mare. The aim of the Fridge of Free Stuff is to share surplus food within the ​community to reduce food waste going to landfills.Follow link toFridge of Free Stuff
Nailsea Community LarderThe Community Larder exists to reduce food waste. Everything is free as it needs a home to stop it being wasted. All members of the community are welcome to take 5 items from the Larder, plus bread, every day. Follow link toNailsea Community Larder

The Stable Food ShopThe Food Shop is a food waste project and is open to everyone in the local community. The Food Shop will run as a membership scheme, costing £5 per household for each 6 month period. Members will then be able to visit The Food Shop weekly to purchase a range of items which will then be priced at the till. It is expected that a basket of shopping will cost around £5 but be worth at least £40. The Food Shop is located at The Stable 3-6 Wadham Street, Weston-super-Mare. Follow link toThe Stable Food Shop
Pill Community Fridge and surplus food tableThe Fridge is located at the Resource Centre in Pill. It is open 6 days a week, whenever the Resource centre is open. The Surplus food table happens every Saturday morning 10 till 11am. All food is donated from local supermarkets and residents to save it from going to waste and is FREE for anyone to take. We would love members of the group and visitors or followers to post recipes and stories about how they've used the food. Follow link toPill Community Fridge and surplus food table
