\n

A “community fridge” which aims to offer a foodbank-style service to reduce food waste has opened in Derby.<\/p>\n

Thrivemind Village in Iron Gate has partnered with a number of organisations and is urging people to donate extra items so they do not end up in landfill.<\/p>\n

The organisation also wants to reduce the stigma of people coming to collect food.<\/p>\n

Simon Jones, director of Thrivemind Village, said: “In the UK, we’re wasting tonnes and tonnes of food each year so this is great way to put that food to good use.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Jones said the scheme was more of a focus on waste rather than giving free food to those who need it.<\/p>\n

He added: “There’s a cost-of-living crisis, we’ve had a difficult budget being announced, cuts to disability allowance, all sorts of things… it’s harder for people these days.<\/p>\n

“We want to break the stigma for people that come along – they are taking food from our fridge to reduce food waste, that is what we’re putting the emphasis on.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
