Willingham Action Group has started a new project concerning the various aspects of Sustainability. The current activities relate to limiting use and greater recycling of plastics and also reducing the amount of meat we eat. We also plan to start a Repair Café but that must wait until Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.

We also wish to become involved with greater consumption of local food production, reusing rather than replacing, energy conservation, caring for the environment and increasing biodiversity. Our actions will involve providing information about the issues, encouraging involvement and planning some actions.

If you would like to join us to work on any of the above then please contact us at the following address and stating your area of interest willinghamsustainability@gmail.com
