Rutland community Fridge are looking for volunteers to join their pick up team.

Rutland Community Fridge is a community-led initiative to prevent food going to landfill.

Residents are encouraged to donate as they can in return for food that has reached its sell by date from local supermarkets and stores.

The Oakham Community Fridge runs from Oakham Station on a Friday from 10 - 11:30am, and the Uppingham Fridge can be found at Uppingham Town Hall from 1:30 - 3pm on Friday.

Now, they are looking for volunteers to help with their Friday morning collections.

The pick up team collect food goods from Melton Mowbray and deliver to Oakham each Friday morning. You must be able to perform these duties frequently, as the community fridge goes ahead every Friday morning at Oakham Station from 10 - 11:30am.

You must be able to collect early on Friday morning, well before the Community Fridge session begins.
