    Burnley Community Fridge

    Expired

      My big idea is to start a community fridge here at the Burnley Campus. 
       

      Eating healthy and wholesome food is so important for students mental health, well-being and physical health. Not only does putting goodness into your body make you feel better but it also encourages and facilitates students to study better. 
       

      Research has consistently found that eating a nutritious, varied diet can improve concentration, enhance memory, prolong attention span, and improve thinking. Students who regularly eat nutrient-rich foods also display more efficient problem-solving skills, greater fact comprehension, and stronger mental recall! 

      with the cost of living crisis affecting everyone, especially the people on lower incomes we need this more than ever. Students are massively affected while studying at university, trying to juggle bills, accommodation and food bills.

      Everyone should have access to a variety of food. No one should go hungry or without because they can't afford to eat well. 

       

      It would be fantastic to get some local or nationwide partnerships secured in order to fill the fridges! 
       

      tesco, Asda, sainsburys, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl and more....

      So please vote on my big idea and let's give back by starting this community fridge!!

       

      Show support and solidarity to the cause too Preston students and vote this up so we can get seen! 
       

      thank you!
