Help with the Community Fridge
We have a cafe serving food made from surplus ingredients, which helps to reduce the wastage of food and therefore the environmental impact of food waste (which is HUGE!)
We host art exhibitions and events in our cafe and workshop space - from talks related to climate change to live music, film nights to craft workshops
We have a Biodiversity group that has many active projects inluding a community allotment, an orchard, and rewilding projects.

Availability Details
To begin with the fridge will open on a Friday and Saturday only. We need two volunteers to help EACH day: 1) Someone to collect food from Sainsburys in Chertsey at approximately 11am Friday / Saturday , bring it to Talking Tree, log the volume and put it in the fridge / shelving. 2) Someone to pop to Talking Tree at close of business (3.30pm) Friday / Saturday, log the volume remaining / taken and dispose of any perishable items that won’t last until the next fridge session. We also need someone to thoroughly clean the fridge and shelving once per week on a Tuesday and complete the cleaning log – anytime during opening hours. If a volunteer can spare an hour or two on Friday or Saturday or Tuesday to help, even if they cannot do it every week, we’d love to hear from them.
