A real bitter sweet moment with our last compost workshop at Gloucester Street.

We had 30 people this evening! To think this was just an idea we discussed with over 5 years ago and we’ve had hundreds of people through the door learning, sharing and enjoying these life skills.

It’s been an evolving presentation and process to find what people need, what they are curious about and how best to help them.

We will be moving to Saxton Road in a few weeks but this evening’s compost workshop was such a great reminder of how important events like this are, how small businesses are helping the community, and that people want to make a difference. We look forward to hosting more events like this in the future.

Thanks to the staff over the years who have helped facilitate these events and of course , .bushell. Huge thanks to Karen Lee & the Rethink Waste Programme at NCC for sponsoring these events and making this possible and accessible for so many people.

Thank you,
Tim
