New community fridge aims to reduce food waste
The community fridge is the first one to come to Derby
A "community fridge" which aims to offer a foodbank-style service to reduce food waste has opened in Derby.
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.
The organisation also wants to reduce the stigma of people coming to collect food.
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."
