VOLUNTEER NEEDED!

We need someone to distribute our Repair Cafe posters around Wincanton once a month to various shops etc. But no - you won't need to climb a ladder! You can do it all on foot and the shops etc. put them up themselves. We usually put out about 20-25 posters.

Our Repair Cafe saves 100's of kg of stuff from the waste system every year so you would be helping to promote this.

Please message us if you would like to help.

The Big Butterfly Count is on until the 9th August. All you have to do is spend 15 minutes outdoors counting all the butterflies you see and then record the results on the Butterfly Conservation website. https://butterfly-conservation.org/bigbutterflycount

The Big Butterfly Count 2026 is here! 🦋

From now until 9 August, spend 15 minutes outside counting the butterflies you see and help us take nature's pulse.

With 80% of UK butterfly species in decline, it’s never been more important to understand how our insects are responding to climate change and habitat loss.

The best part? Anyone, anywhere can take part. No lab coats. No science degrees. Just 15 minutes of your time. ⏱️
