Meet my loofah. I get a pack of 2 (the small ones) and use one in the washing up instead of the foam, plastic scourer and one in the shower. When I'm done I just chuck it in my home compost bin because it's a plant. They last ages too. It's only a small thing, but it's a thing I can do. I also buy a 5L bottle of eco washing up liquid and decant it. If you have any eco washing up tips, share them in the comments 😊

Have you ever wanted to make your own beeswax wraps? You can do this next Monday morning, (22nd June) at 10am, and it's only £10! Jarvis Brook Guide Hall. Organised by Artytime Scrapstore. Proceeds will go towards the skatepark, so the love goes just that little bit further!

Don't know what beeswax wraps are? They are a plastic free alternative to cling film. Made by applying wax to cotton fabric which makes them firm, but shapeable to mould around plates, bowls, sandwiches and other food. They are of course re-useable, but will need refreshing from time to time.

Bev will guide you through the process, so you will go home with a new plastic free swap ready for

Please contact https://www.artytime.co.uk/contact to join.

We've now started our simpler recycling collections and cartons are being collected again! Just try to make sure your recycling is rinsed out. The terracycle scheme is really good for businesses, or if you are particularly keen to recycle particular things.

Do you know any teens that are interested in learning new, valuable skills? Maybe they would like to go to the Tunbridge Wells Repair Cafe which are holding special teen sessions? - (Teen volunteers are also welcome at the Crowborough Repair Cafe too).

Repair Academy events for 12-16yr olds - do you know anyone with kids that might be interested?

After a successful pilot in 2025, the Tunbridge Wells Repair Café is running four more repair academy events at Trinity Theatre each aimed at helping teach repair skills to young people in 2026. They will be on:

Sat 25th April
Sat 27th June
Sat 12th Sept
Sat 21st Nov

There will be two repair academies running on each date, each taking up to 10 children, one focussing on electrical repairs and the other textile / clothing repairs. Each date is a stand alone event, they are not a continuous series so a child can attend just one date if they wish to.

Each event runs from 10am to 12pm and costs £5 per child.

Please register interest at https://forms.gle/oAkpCLzSbz819LL46

Please feel free to pass on to parents / guardians or post on school newsletters, Facebook groups, Whatsapp groups etc to help spread the word.

Please comment on this post to help spread the word :)

Many thanks in advance the Tunbridge Wells Repair Café team.
