ADVENT CALENDAR – Share Green Tips

We are doing our advent calendar again, but this year we are doing it with your ‘Green Tips’.

We were at Wellingborough Twinkle on Saturday 30th November, where we added your green tips to a Christmas Tree on our stall. Lots of people popped in to see us before the town’s lights got switched on to give us their Green Tips, and you can as well, send us your green tips via email or social media. We also want to hear from local businesses, schools and community organisations too.

Our Advent Calendar is usually of local businesses and community organisations, looking at those who offer eco-friendly services and those who are making a difference in Wellingborough! It was a way for us to find out what’s on offer, so that we could make Wellingborough Eco Map, and to support local businesses and community organisations that were struggling during and after covid. If you offer an eco-friendly service or are a community organisation, you can still send us your story and a logo and we will add you to our map!

So please do send us your green tips for our advent calendar this year. If you can, we will add your tip to our Advent Calendar. Email info@wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk, message us via messenger or call/text/WhatsApp 07311 705705.

Our Advent Calendar will be updated with a new window opening every day until Christmas Eve. The window will be linked to our blog with an article all about what your Green Tip is, and then shared across our social media outlets; and by the way, it starts this today…
