Are you looking for inspiration about how you can do more to care for the environment in 2025? Or perhaps you would just like to find out more about about what's going on locally?
🎁 Perhaps you have an unwanted Christmas present that you would like to swap 🎁 for something that is more 'you'?
Plans are well advanced for our joint repair cafe and eco fair to be held at Richmond School Sixth Form Hall on Sunday 19th January, from 9.45am to 12.30 pm. The event is FREE to attend and all are welcome!
A range of engaging Interactive displays will provide the backdrop for all the usual repair cafe activities (see our repair cafe webpage for more details). Confirmed groups so far are:
Richmond Landscape Trust - conserving valuable local greenspaces.
Holmdale Nature Network - taking action to improve nature.
CPRE North Yorkshire - campaigning to protect our rural areas.
Buglife - Beelines Project - taking action to support bee populations by joining up bee-friendly habitats.
Save Our Swale - campaigning for clean local river water
Just the Job - local charity and social enterprise whose activities include supporting local environmental projects, such as Rufus Woods.
North Yorkshire Council - Climate Change, Air Quality, Sustainable Travel (including a chance to make your own smoothie by pedalling the Smoothie Bike) and Local Nature Recovery Strategy.
The Northern Eco - online eco themed newsletter, authored and published in Richmondshire.
North Yorkshire Rotters - waste & recycling tips & advice
Richmond Methodist School - Eco club.
We will also have plenty to keep young ones interested, including repurposing activities, decorating stones as bees and bugs, icing cakes and having a go at making a drink by pedalling the Smoothie Bike.
And finally....there will be an opportunity to view our new film 'Beneath the Surface' - see how many local faces and places you can spot in it!
