Community Fridge

A community fridge is a public refrigerator where individuals and businesses can leave perishable and non-perishable food items that are completely free for anyone to take.

It operates on a principle of sharing and reducing food waste, allowing people to donate food that is near its 'use by' date but still perfectly safe and nutritious to eat. The primary goal of a community fridge is to make food more accessible to everyone, particularly those in need, while fostering a sense of community and mutual aid.

The Glyndon Community Centre community fridge (sponsored by Plumstead & Glyndon, Woolwich Arsenal and Woolwich Common Ward budgets) is open every Thursday from 10:00am - 12:00pm for any residents who find themselves in need.

It's a resource meant to support individuals and families by providing free access to food, thereby helping to alleviate food insecurity in the community. Whether you're facing financial difficulties or other challenges that make it hard to access sufficient food, the community fridge is there to help, no questions asked.

It's a testament to the community's commitment to taking care of one another and ensuring that everyone has access to the basic necessity of nutritious food.

Our Greenwich: Annual Plan

In January 2023 we published Our Greenwich, our joint vision for the borough for the next four years.

We committed to publishing an annual action plan to make sure we're staying on track to meet our missions.

As part of this we're now asking you to tell us about your experiences of Greenwich and the challenges you face. We'll use this feedback in our action plan which will shape the council's priorities this year.

Share your feedback in the survey below or drop by on one of our in-person engagement events. You can also visit one of our OG phone booths to leave us a message and let us know what matters most to you.

How does it work?

If you are concerned about someone over the age of 18 that you have seen sleeping rough in London, you can use the button above to send an alert to StreetLink. The details you provide will be reviewed by the StreetLink team who will look at the information and make a judgment as to whether the alert is suitable to be sent to the local street outreach for the area in which you have seen the person, to help them find the individual and connect them to support.

It is important to note that if you think the person you are concerned about is under 18 please do not contact StreetLink but instead call the police.
