Milk ATM pops up in London
The first ever free milk ATM has appeared in North London – to help highlight the importance of giving people access to daily dairy which many UK food charities are currently unable to provide.
It marks the start of a nationwide roll out of fresh dairy provision in food charities across the country, after it was revealed an estimated 450,000 people who rely on these schemes do not have access.
Despite fresh dairy being one of the most requested items at food charities according to FareShare, around one in five (19 per cent) of the charities it supports can’t offer it, with many forced to decline donations due to a lack of storage facilities.
The innovative milk dispensing machine aims to raise awareness of this issue while allowing consumers to receive free, fresh milk at the push of a button.
Launched by Arla, it marks the next steps of the UK’s leading dairy cooperative’s commitment to enhance people’s access to daily dairy.
Jonathan Dixon, senior vice president at Arla said: “We are on a mission to enhance the accessibility of nutritious dairy products for communities across the UK.
