With the countdown to the Great Big Climate Circus well underway, we thought it was the perfect time to start highlighting some of the amazing things happening on the day 🎪🌍

First up, we’re excited to share our Clothes Swap! ♻️
It’s a great chance to give your old clothes a new lease of life, refresh your wardrobe, and make a positive impact on the planet at the same time. This fantastic activity is being organised and run by one of our dedicated youth leaders 💚

🕐 The clothes swap will be running from 1–6pm
📍 You’ll find it in one of the smaller tents on site

Come along, get involved, and let’s work together to beat fast fashion 👕✨

We can’t wait to see you there!

🎉 We’re excited to launch our new Library of Things!

You can now borrow a range of practical and useful items from Quedgeley, Up Hatherley and Charlton Kings Libraries — from cleaning, gardening and DIY tools to gadgets and party equipment.

Why buy something you only need occasionally when you can borrow it locally?

✔ Save money
✔ Save space
✔ Reduce waste
✔ Try new things without the upfront cost

Pop into one of the participating libraries to see what’s on the shelves, or ask staff to find out what you can borrow. Let’s make sharing the new normal in Gloucestershire! 💙📚
