It enables them to share knowledge, skills, ask questions and provide support to each other. Through the network, Hubbub also offers free, comprehensive guidance on how to set up a fridge as well as tools covering everything you need, from posters to health and safety templates and more.Grants of £4,750 are available for groups who are looking to set up a community fridge. This funding is designed to support new community fridges only. The funding must go towards the development of a new Community fridge which meets the needs of a diverse local community and the Set-Up costs for the first year of operating. This includes staffing costs, equipment and running costs.
