The Community Food Hubs
New fund open for April
Running a community fridge? Got an idea for an activity you’d like to try at your space?
Together with Starbucks, Hubbub is offering 50 community fridges up to £9,000 in funding to develop food-related initiatives.
Since 2021, we’ve helped support 150 food hub projects to get off the ground. We’re delighted to support a further 100 this year.
Food hub project themes
-
Skills
To up-skill your community and raise awareness of affordable, healthy and sustainable living. Think workshops and events, repair cafes, skill-sharing or a library of things.
-
Affordable food
To try out new ways to increase access to local and affordable food. Think food cooperatives, veg box schemes or food markets.
-
Community connection
To provide the opportunity for the community to come together around shared food. Think community meals, coffee and chats, and recipe shares.
-
Growing
To support community growing and increase the amount of edible food grown and shared locally. Think community gardens, greening projects and seed or plant sharing.
