The People’s Fridge at Flowergate Hall, a community-led project dedicated to reducing food waste and supporting local residents, is celebrating a wave of support from the Whitby Co-op.
The People’s Fridge, managed by Flash Company Arts, offers free surplus food to anyone in the community. Operating four days a week, the fridge provides a vital resource for individuals and families, especially during challenging times.
Thanks to the generosity of Whitby Co-op, the fridge has been consistently well-stocked with fresh food and essentials. Their regular donations have made a significant difference, ensuring that good food reaches those who need it while helping to cut down on waste.
“The support from Whitby Co-op has been absolutely incredible. Their commitment to the community is inspiring, and we’re proud to work alongside them to make Whitby a stronger, more caring place.”
The People’s Fridge is open to everyone and operates on a “take what you need, leave what you can” basis. It is open from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at Flowergate Hall Community Arts Centre, Flowergate, Whitby YO21 3BA.
Alongside the fridge, Flowergate Hall runs a wide programme of creative workshops, music groups, fitness sessions, and social activities — all designed to bring people together and support wellbeing in the local area.
The People’s Fridge invites anyone — businesses or individuals — who would like to donate food, volunteer their time, or learn more about getting involved to visit the project or follow them online.
