In July 2023 the Working Group held a “Swish’ or….a fancy clothes swap! Instead of purchasing new clothes parishioners donated their unwanted but still very wearable clothes and accessories and later the same day left the event with new items chosen by them. This theme of re purposing or reusing is something that we are all becoming more accustomed to. We will hold a similar event at some stage in the future, possibly in 2025.
Living more sustainably can be easier to achieve, and cheaper, than reducing our carbon footprint to zero. Whether it is switching from a plastic bottle of hand soap to a traditional bar of soap, using a doorstep milk delivery or composting any food and garden waste rather than sending to landfill, we are all trying to live more sustainably
Below are some links to local initiatives that are currently being used.
