FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT Winter Warm Space starts Monday!

From tomorrow, Monday 27th February, it’s Fairtrade Fortnight and Jonathan, Co-op Member Pioneer, thought that we could promo this via Glamis Hall’s Winter Warm Space at our ECO HUB with donations he gets from the Co-op. We will be offering free Fairtrade Coffee, tea and food samples, plus hot food cooked freshly every day!

With a cost of living and climate crisis, many of us are facing tough decisions. Some of us have moved to working from home following the pandemic and are facing a winter with increased energy bills. Others are facing even harder decisions about whether to heat or eat. Well the Winter Warm Space is there for warmth, food and drink, plus a chance to chat to other local people and play games!

Winter Warm Spaces are for anyone in need of warmth & community, they are a warm space to share with others. Join us on Mondays, Tuesday and Thursday 10-2, and on Fridays 10-2 for our Eco Club for Kids. There will be different food samples and hot food dishes every day so do come more than once.

Come and try Fairtrade on us, and then perhaps when you shop, look for the FAIRTRADE Mark. You may even find that you save money by choosing Fairtrade! It’s all about making the small switch to Fairtrade, we can all support producers in protecting the future of some of our most-loved food and the planet. The power is in your hands. See you soon…

Litter Picking Victoria

Join us at this month’s Two Hour Tidy up this Saturday morning (25th February) we are litter picking the Victoria Area. We will set up a recycling station at the Victoria Centre from 9:30 to litter pick between 10am-12 midday.

This location has been chosen because Wellie Wombles are celebrating their 2nd birthday afterwards at the Victoria Centre (12-2pm). As a group we have tidied up this area before, but unfortunately due to some messy people there’s plenty to do. There are lots of streets and some green areas to tidy up.

To help us and keep us safe at this and future litter picks, Wellingborough Eco Group have purchased some litter pickers, hi-vis vests and safety equipment including road signs, so everything is provided but please bring your own gloves if you can.

North Northants Council will take away the litter we pick, hand sanitiser will be available. We will be joined by Wellie Wombles and many other volunteers, so do join in, bring your friends and family, and stay afterwards for some hot food and drinks, ALL WELCOME!
