Help with the Community Fridge

We have a cafe serving food made from surplus ingredients, which helps to reduce the wastage of food and therefore the environmental impact of food waste (which is HUGE!)

We host art exhibitions and events in our cafe and workshop space - from talks related to climate change to live music, film nights to craft workshops

We have a Biodiversity group that has many active projects inluding a community allotment, an orchard, and rewilding projects.
