Investment Fund Terms and Conditions 2025

Terms and conditions: Investment fund for community fridges About the fund Hubbub wants to help Community Fridge Network (CFN) members grow their impact and build resilient communities by supporting a cross section of society to have access to healthy and sustainable food, food skills and stronger local food economies. With this fund we want to deepen the impact of fridges and really address the issues that they are coming up against time and time again. These are volunteer recruitment, lack of capacity, dependency on grant funding to name a few. We’ve listened to the network and identified areas where our support could address these problems through encouraging innovation, enhancing existing activities, adapting to new and future challenges and using research and insights to enable groups to become selfsustaining. Organisations will be selected from the pool of CFN member applicants. Successful applicants will be offered a one-off payment of £5,000. Successful grant recipients will be required to report back on the impact of their project so that the wider impact of investment fund initiatives can be evaluated and reported. By submitting an application, organisations agree to Hubbub’s decisions relating to the fund being final and binding. To receive funding, organisations will be required to enter into further agreements, which will be provided should the application be successful. Eligibility The grant is open to any member of the Community Fridge Network which has a fridge that has been open for a minimum of 1 year. Groups must have submitted their impact reporting for this time period. Applicants must be able to provide certified bank details for their registered organisation. Applications from a collaboration of organisations or partnerships are welcomed. The lead organisation must be a registered member of the Community Fridge Network. Each Applicant shall appoint a lead “representative” to represent it and act on its behalf, including registering and entering an application, along with a secondary contact who is able to act in the “representative’s” absence. The representative must be authorised to submit on behalf of the organisation.
