A(Hello all

Some of you may be aware of the Albrighton Community Fridge running at the Albrighton Centre on Albrighton Rd, Dog Kennel Hill Estate, have a look here if you'd like to know more - https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/


As things get closer to normal for some people we find ourselves needing volunteers, this can be from as little as 2 hours a week. If you do have a little time on your hands, maybe looking for some volunteering experience before the return to school/uni/work, then please contact me by pm, or the Fridge office on 020 7737 6186 or even email Megan at [email protected] who co-ordinates all these things.


Thanks for reading and please get in touch if you need anything. Admin sadly this isn't Covid specific so I put it in general, thanks.

Albrighton Community Fridge is a fantastic resource for our local area and families and individuals can get much-needed free food without a referral.


More importantly, they are a fantastic team and helping a couple of hours or more a week is very rewarding.


Highly recommend!

Hello everyone, it's been a while but we're back needing volunteers. As the pandemic has evolved our volunteer base has too, and we now have a number of key volunteers going back to work or other changes of circumstance so this is why I'm asking for your help.



As said in the previous post it doesn't have to be loads of hours, but what we really need now is people who can commit to doing a shift or two on the same days for a few weeks so we can plan ahead. If that's you and you'd like to help do let us know. Even if you can't commit to that but woudl be able to help out at shortish notice then please get in touch anyway..

It's generally quite good fun, the team is nice people, and let's be honest it doesn't do your CV any harm..


Contact details as above in post 1, please do get in touch.

As has been said it?s a fantastic team and helping is very rewarding. I hadn?t realised, and probably don?t know all that goes on ?behind the scenes? so to speak as I only see what happens when I?m there.


If you can spare some time do get in touch via the details in the OP and see if there?s something you could do.


Don?t want to be on the shop floor you can help setup and leave before the shop floor opens.


Not available during the day but could do a collection in the evening / morning. The food given out needs to be collected before it can be given out.


Not able to commit time at the moment? Could you pick up something extra when you go shopping and donate it? Yesterday tins of chopped tomatoes were asked for and cereal is often asked for.

    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
