We’re doing quite a bit of visioning at @SustainDevizes Sustainability Fair next month. Very much inspired by @robintransition’s book From What Is to What If (a must read if your haven’t)… we hope you can join us, and let your imagination run wild 💚

Wow! Thanks so much to everyone that turned out and supported our Swap Shop yesterday. It was wonderfully busy and we had so many encouraging comments. Final total TBC but we believe over 300kg of items were reclaimed 💚

Maths done… it was actually over 350kg of items reclaimed at our Swap Shop. Incidentally, that’s the approximate weight of an adult polar bear.

Never mind fancy dress… Cultivating a love of reading is one of the most powerful things you can do for your child. Come along to our Swap Shop on Saturday and pick up some books for free! (Plus don’t forget your local library if you have one). Hooray for books! #WorldBookDay

Date for your diary… hoping to make these Swap Shops a regular thing (maybe even monthly?) but we need storage space between swaps to make that happen. Can anyone in #Devizes offer help with that?
