☀️New opening hours for the Flitwick Community Fridge from this Monday 8th June.

📢 Changes to opening hours from Monday 8th June

After reviewing visitor feedback, usage data, food availability and volunteer capacity, we’re making some changes to our opening hours from Monday 8th June.

The main changes are:

🔹 Friday afternoon sessions will no longer run
🔹 Afternoon sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are moving slightly later to 15:00-16:30
🔹 Our Wednesday supported tier only session is moving to 14:00-16:30, allowing us to offer a better and more varied stock selection
🔹 We’re introducing occasional Saturday and Sunday evening use-by sessions at 20:50, when enough surplus food and volunteers are available
🔹 From Saturday 13th June, supported tier households will also have access to a smaller top-up table during the normal Saturday morning session. Please note only supported tier members can access the top-up table.

Our Saturday and Sunday evening use-by sessions are dependent on surplus availability and volunteer capacity. Updates will only be shared through our WhatsApp channel.
