STOP THE PRESS! Cegin Teifi wins funding for community fridge in Cardigan!

Cegin Teifi has been granted set up funding from Hubbub for a new community fridge in Cardigan, to reduce food waste and make surplus food freely available to everyone!

We are very excited to be starting work on the community fridge project, which has included visiting other fridges in the area to learn from them. We hope to make a big difference by reducing food waste and making free food available without stigma or referrals, and strengthening community spirit along the way!

The fridge will be based at the Guildhall, and aims to be open from July this year.

There will be a Community Fridge Drop-in session with free activities for children on Friday 6th March during the Farmers Market, 12.30pm - 2.30pm at the Guildhall. This will be a chance for the community to share their views on how this could work best, and whether they would like to use or help run the fridge. There is also an online questionnaire available* (see below).

Cegin Teifi is building a team of volunteers to run the community fridge. Volunteer roles will require one or more hours a month, and include fridge attendant, drivers to collect surplus food, and, for those who like being outdoors, the gleaning team will be out picking apples and surplus crops later in the year.

Support from Ben Lake MP:
"Cegin Teifi's plans to launch a community fridge in Cardigan is yet another example of its success in building a more sustainable and resilient food system. I was grateful for the opportunity to discuss the ways in which the group is bringing together local families, retailers, and food suppliers to reduce food waste. I am full of admiration for the team of volunteers that ensures the scheme's success, and grateful for their dedication to build a more resilient community by promoting a more sustainable local food system. I encourage everyone to attend the drop-in session to find out more about the ways you can join the team and contribute to the success of this brilliant project."

Fridge information sessions are available to clubs and organisations, supported by funding from Social Farms and Gardens. We look at food waste issues and how this affects the environment, and how they can get involved in both volunteering and using the community fridge. If groups would like to host one of these for their members, please get in touch: [email protected].

A wonderful Cegin Teifi evening on Wednesday kicked off with Welsh carols from local choir Côr Tafarn Yr Hydd, followed by a delicious meal made from local ingredients by Flying Start families with our chef facilitators.
A massive shout out to all the wonderful volunteers without whom, these meals would not be possible - Thank you!
A big thank you also, to Scott and Julian at the Guildhall and everyone else who helped move the meal from upstairs to the street-level covered market once we discovered the lift was out of action - so that we could all be part of the feast together.
Diolch yn fawr to all that came and joined in!
Watch this space for upcoming events and news about the Cegin Teifi project, and see you next time!
