Less Waste, More Share and Repair: Webinar on Helping Communities Cut Consumption

Less Waste, More Share and Repair: Webinar on Helping Communities Cut Consumption

Emissions from goods produced outside Surrey are broadly double all the county’s transport, heating and other direct emissions added together. 

So how can we support communities to cut consumption?

Across Surrey, Repair Cafes, Libraries of Things, and Bike Amnesties are tackling this problem head on. 

Book onto this webinar to learn more about these projects, what they are achieving, and how to set up and run them.

We’ll hear from groups that have set up ‘bike amnesty’ projects, ensuring unloved bikes are refurbished and provided for free to households in Surrey’s low income areas. Also on the programme: a new Grant fund to help community groups with their waste reduction projects, including Libraries of Things and Repair cafes, and how to set up and run those projects too.

 

Book onto the free webinar on the 20th November here, and please do share with anyone else you think may be interested

Vital Village Community Garden Seed Swap

Vital Village Community Garden Seed Swap

If you’re pondering what to grow this year or want to start growing your own for the first time pop by and see us out the front of Vital Village Hub for a Seed Swap!

Hoarders / over buyers of seeds (like me) can bring along a packet to swap for something else of interest (or just donate seed) and if nothing to swap you can pick up something for a very small donation to support our community growing in Thames Ditton this year.

And if you’ve got spare home saved seeds or bulbs fantastic! Just make sure they are labelled and and bought packets sow by 2022 at the latest.

The farmers market will be back and booming for 2025 and the Village Hub and Waste to Plate Community Food shop open too.
