We're zeroing in on Net Zero

September is our month of sustainability

It's a new month, a new season and we're making it our official month of Sustainability - at least for 2022.

So, with that in mind, alongside our Sustainability Summit, we're bringing you Towards Zero. If you're all for the talks from the Summit, then get ready for the action because we'll be hosting a series of exciting events, content and competitions.

Together, we can make simple changes in attitude and action, that can form long-lasting, impactful change!

Check out the list of what's coming and get on board.

The Upcycle Swap

Let’s reuse and repurpose and help create a circular economy with our unwanted or no-longer-needed items. The Upcycle Swap will be a place to trade books, clothes, music, homewares - anything that you'd be proud to own or give. 

Sustainabilitysummit6We encourage you to gift an item or take an item as a gift.
Our focus is to find a new home for like new items that are otherwise left unused.
Please remember: gift new/like new items only, something you would be happy to give/receive from a friend or loved one, also:
1. No perishable items
2. No damaged items
3. No large oversized items, that require multiple people to move
 
 Let’s cut down on wastage by finding a new home for unwanted/unused items.
 
We will be collecting any items which have not been swapped at the end of the week and we will donate to the most appropriate charity depending on what is remaining eg. if clothing this will be Dress for Success, etc
