💡 Be a part of a people-powered project to create a Good Waste Charter in Oxfordshire 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 👫 👭

Enjoy a free meal and share your problems, solutions, experiences, and thoughts around 🗑️ waste at an Engagement Session for communities or businesses. Your input is essential in co-creating a waste strategy (and eventually policy) that works; one with people and their needs at the centre.

The first of a series of Engagement Sessions around Oxfordshire is set to take place for the community at WISH (OX5 1EE) on:
📆 Wednesday 22nd April 10-12,
📆 Wednesday 6th May 10-12,
📆 and Wednesday 20th May 10-12.
*** If you'd like to join, please do attend all 3 as each builds upon the previous meeting, as guided by a professional facilitator 💚

Join us at our Repair Cafe! Every Tuesday, our wonderful volunteer is here to help fix anything that’s just not working. He’ll always do his best to repair your items and give them a new lease of life.

We understand that you might not always be able to attend on a Tuesday, so we also have a Google Form you can fill in beforehand. He will either guide you on how to fix the item yourself or ask you to bring it in the next time you visit.

Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zbOYlMSJHTkdcPrcuWDy-EskORNjh6gdtPG7JXqs0wA/viewform?edit_requested=true
