This November, Keep Britain Tidy is calling on Local Authorities to help residents improve their waste habits. While recycling is important, we can do even better!
Could you buy nothing new for just one month? Every new item we purchase has an environmental cost, from the water and energy used in production to the fuel used in delivery. By buying less, using what we have, repairing broken items, and passing on old items to new homes, we can save money and protect the planet.
Let’s work together to make a real difference. Join Buy Nothing New Month today: Sign up here

If you can't afford the basics for your child and aren't sure where to turn, they're here to help. You can contact them confidentially by emailing nicky@babybankbeyond.org or texting 07355 445 502
Grown out of it
Grown Out of It is a free online service which gives you access to affordable second-hand school uniform and everyday items.
They have over 30 item categories and 100’s of quality items listed, plus the option to sign up and sell your own child’s school uniform. Grown out of it also offers a donation option, which allows you to donate part or all your sale proceeds directly to your School or Parent Teacher Association.
The idea behind Repair Cafés is to reduce the amount of stuff that is thrown away. With some simple fixes, items including electrical goods, garden tools and clothing could be given a new lease of life. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products.

The Repair Café is part of Green Transition Crowborough, a community organisation that promotes local action in the Crowborough area to address climate change and encourage sustainability.By visiting the Repair Café you can save money, extend the life of your item and ultimately save things going to landfill.
The Shed is a fantastic community opportunity for anyone to come along, meet some friendly people, get involved in Shed projects and development, create items in the workshops, work on your own personal projects and repairs – and have lots of cups of tea and chat!!
