Community Fridge now open

St Luke’s Community Fridge was opened in July 2017, a place where surplus food from local businesses gets distributed to people in the local community who need it.

About the centre

We own a large Community Centre on the edge of the City of London, a diverse area containing extremes of wealth and poverty. Our modern Community Centre provides a space for local people to gather and socialise, and for us and other organisations to deliver services and activities for the local community at little or no cost.
