Community fridge volunteers

Do you care about reducing food waste and have a couple of hours free a week? Why not help Greener Orkney in their Kirkwall and Stromness community fridges?

The community fridge aims to reduce the amount of food waste going into landfill and will be stocked with ‘use by’ and ‘best before’ food given by the supermarkets and local businesses. Donations from the public are also accepted under certain circumstances.

As a community fridge volunteer you will be:

• picking up the food from the supermarket (if you have transport)


• Weighing and sorting the food


• assisting members of the public coming to take food away

Full training will be given and there is flexibility on evenings and cover for holidays or sickness etc. If you are interested in helping in any way please contact greenerorkney@gmail.com or call Jane Nelson on 07739 144064.

Volunteers are currently needed for a Thursday lunchtime in Kirkwall (12noon to 2pm), and mid-week evening volunteers in both Kirkwall and Stromness for approximately 1 hour

Experience required

We are looking for volunteers with a passion for reducing food waste - could this be you?
