Month: August 2025

Wellingborough Eco Group and Wellie Wombles

This Month’s Two Hour Tidy Up takes place on Saturday 30th August in Hemmingwell Park Park. We will be setting up our Recycling Station from 9:30 in the field off of Guillemot Lane, for litter picking between 10 and 12. We will be litter picking the whole park, and the nearby streets.

This location has been chosen because we have had a lot of people tell us it needs litter picking! As a group we have tidied up this area before, but not as a group pick so far this year, so there’s a lot to do to make the park tidy again. See map below for the location:

To help us and keep us safe at this and future litter picks, Wellingborough Eco Group have 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. Free cold drinks plus tea and Coffee will be available for all litter pickers, plus hand sanitiser will also be available, do join us if you can, ALL WELCOME!

We cleared our ECO HUB over the weekend, finishing at 1:30 this morning. There was so much stuff it took longer than expected. It looks really sad, but it needed to be completely cleared for building works

Thank you to everyone who helped us do this. Thank you Anne, Eileen, Emma, Lily and Clover, Kyle and Sheila, Jonathan, Michael and team, and Sam. Thank you all for your support.

Massive thank you to Glamis Hall for all of your support and for putting up with us. We have had a very happy and busy three years as ECO HUB, plus as Tuesday Tidy Ups and more before. Thank you to the Trustees, management and staff.

Wellingborough Swap Shop, SUB, Happy Cafe and Food Sharers will continue to be on tomorrow, and every Tuesday and Thursday in August at Swanspool Pavilion! Plus we will have Replay Fun Fridays too. Thank you Wellingborough Town Council for accommodating us at short notice.

Thank you to everyone who uses our services and supports us. We are sad we have closed at Glamis Hall, but so happy to be able to bring our services to Swanspool, which promises to be a very busy month in the Pavillion and gardens!

ECO HUB is now based at Swanspool Pavillion, Swanspool Parade, Wellingborough NN8 2BZ. We are there during August temporarily whilst Glamis Hall has building works. Thank you to Wellingborough Town Council for hosting us!
