A charity in Derry has set up a "community fridge" in Creggan.
Organised by Creggan Country Park, "Creggan Connected" is a community fridge funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.
A community fridge is a social space that brings people together to connect, learn new skills and reduce food waste.

In partnership with FareShare Go and Tesco, surplus food is redistributed via a community fridge to local people.
No registration is required, and food is collected by locals and redistributed on the same day to the community.
Visitors can go for a walk, bring along a reusable bag and just take what they want from the fridge and shelves during its opening hours.
Visitors can also relax after their walk, enjoy a free cup of tea, refill their reusable water bottles, and find out what services are available in their area.
The organisers say that community fridges also help tackle climate change at a local level by limiting food waste which can produce large amounts of greenhouse gases.
Karen Healy, Environmental Officer at Creggan Country Park said: “We are excited to grow our environment programme further so that it can help both people and the planet.
"We would like to say a huge thank you to the six students from St Joseph’s Boys School, our volunteers, and our artist Sheila for all their hard work over the past few months.
"This is their project, they designed it from scratch and did all the work themselves. Looking at the amazing transformation of the space just shows how hard they worked, and they should be very proud.
"We want to use the space to raise awareness on climate change and biodiversity issues that affects us all, and would like to extend our thanks to everyone who made this possible.”
