What we do
We are working with local decision makers, like councillors and others.
We support local businesses on their journey to reduce their waste, by signing them up to become Plastic Free Champions.
We engage with schools, churches, community groups and other local organisations, to spread the word and help them reduce their single-use plastics.
We run various events to engage, inform and help people reduce waste and pollution: Repair Cafes, Real Nappy Socials, litter picks, there’s something for everyone.
