Queen's Platinum Jubilee


When Elizabeth was first crowned there were street parties up and down the country. People brought out their
tables and chairs, their best tablecloths and china and celebrated in style.

Together we can keep Britain great by doing the same. Let's say no to all those disposable cups, plates, cutlery, glasses, bunting, balloons and tablecloths that end up as landfill. Instead, let's dust off our pretty china, tablecloths and
homemade bunting and make it a really special occasion.

The Great Big Green Week

The Great Big Green Week is the UK's biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature.

Welcome to Great Big Green Week 2025, when a million people – just like you – will come together to be part of a wave of actions for friends and family, climate and nature.

We can all make small swaps, large swaps and swaps that change the system, to make our communities better.

By coming together, we’ll also send a message loud and clear to our politicians and decision makers that we need to swap old ways for better ways now.

Plastic Free Wimborne

Plastic Free Wimborne - Surfers Against Sewage

What do we mean by Plastic Free?

The banner 'Plastic Free' can be puzzling, even misleading, how can we ever be Plastic Free?

The concept of the Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) Plastic Free communities campaign centres on SINGLE USE plastic such as bottles, bags, coffee cups and straws.
