We’ll be running 8 sessions in July, with Kinson not running due to the team having a well-earned holiday!
We’re excited to say that we are holding our Recycling Awards again and this year they coincide with our 10th birthday party celebrations on Saturday 28th October. A double celebration!
We love our Awards. We feel it is so important to recognise dedicated recyclers who are giving so much of their time to help the environment.
We know from running them in the past that there are some incredible local recyclers out there. We’ve been amazed and, in many cases, humbled when we’ve read their nomination forms and seen exactly how much they’ve achieved.
So, talking of nomination forms, we’d love to see lots for our 10th Birthday Recycling Awards.
These are the categories:
To apply, download our nomination form (in Word or PDF format), complete and either email or post it to us by the closing date of Monday 11 September.
We’re really looking forward to reading all about the recycling action your nominee is taking to help make the environment a better place.
We are running eight sessions in Dorset in June. Our session in Wimborne will NOT be running due to a clash with the Wimborne Folk Festival.
We really appreciate your understanding over our session changes due to the Coronation – we should be back to normal now!!
We are running our full nine sessions in Dorset in April – see the posters below for full information on where and when these sessions take place, and their lists of collected items, as these list can differ between sessions.
Alongside this, due to the Coronation on 6th May, we will be moving some of our sessions in this first weekend of May and our Hamworthy session will now run on Saturday April 29th. Our Merley and Christchurch sessions will move later on in May, and we will advise in due course.
Our Annual Report for the last financial year is now available for all of our stakeholders to view.
Highlights over the past year include:
We are now looking forward into our 10th Birthday year, and aiming to raise the ambitious sum of £10,000 – can you support us in our fundraising this year?
Win on Waste, based in East Dorset, is celebrating today after being awarded £9,000 in funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest funder of community activity in the UK.
Win on Waste will use their funding to continue their work around waste minimisation and recycling across the BCP and Dorset Council areas, running 9 face-to-face community-based sessions where local people can bring up to 20 different types of waste which will then be either diverted to local charities and organisations, or responsibly recycled.
This new National Lottery funding will allow the charity to securely work into its tenth year, and expand its services to provide more waste collection sessions in the local area, and support the launch of a Win on Waste ‘How to’ pack in 2023.
National Lottery players raise over £30 million a week for good causes across the UK. The National Lottery Community Fund distributes a share of this to projects to support people and communities to prosper and thrive.
Win on Waste Business Manager, Stacey Woods said: “Thanks to National Lottery players, this grant means that we can ensure the future of our charity into next year – our tenth anniversary year – and continue providing our valuable community waste sessions. This will make a big difference to the communities in which we work.”
During the pandemic, in 2020 alone, The National Lottery Community Fund distributed almost £1 billion to charities and community organisations across the UK.
