Go Green Week

Monday 21st March - Friday 26th March 2022

It's Go Green Week!

There’s no denying that we’re in a state of climate emergency, so it’s crucial that we each do our bit to protect our environment.

Our theme for the week is waste, so we’re hosting a range of events focused on upcycling, recycling, reusing and generally living a bit more sustainably!
