Host a repair café for the wider community
Build and Support the circular economy.
Map of local area
Help people support local and ethical business and initiatives by producing a map of the area.
CREATE A CYCLE LOCKUP
Nobody wants to leave their expensive bike outside if it’s at risk of being stolen.
WALK OR CYCLE TO CHURCH
The simplest way we can reduce our parish’s transport emissions is by encouraging the community to walk to church if they are able to.
GIVE SOMEONE A LIFT
Help cut down traffic and air pollution by sharing your car with other parishioners, especially if they rely on a lift to get there! It also makes it more likely you will find a space to park in.
PRESERVING
Preserve food you have grown in your gardens by making jams, pickles, sauces and chutneys – a yummy way to reduce food waste!
FORAGING
We are going on a berry hunt! Organise a foraging expedition with someone who knows their way around a hedgerow.
PLANT SWAP
A parish plant swap or sale is a great way to encourage people to grow their own food at home.
VEGETABLE GARDEN
Could you turn a piece of parish grounds into an allotment?
ORCHARD
Apples, plums, cherries, pears, or even the elusive quince can all be grown in your parish.
