Evaluation findings - May 2024
Launched in August 2020, Hale Community Centre's Community Fridge & Cupboard aims to bring the local community together, enhancing community relationships and wellbeing, whilst reducing food waste. The service offers free produce to all, regardless of financial circumstance, as well as providing signposting into other local organisations where individuals need additional support.
Between February 2022 and April 2024, Hale Community Centre partnered with Helpforce to undertake an evaluation of the service and determine the impact it was having for its members.
