To help reduce waste in the Lambourn Valley, Julie Pitt has set up two facebook groups that everyone in Lambourn, Eastbury, East Garston and Great Shefford are very welcome to join:
NON FOOD WASTE Items for the Community where people can give away and collect stuff for free (like a virtual swap shop)
FOOD Waste Heroes Lambourn & Surrounging Areas for people to exchange unwanted food. Julie is a member of OLIO and collects food from supermarkets that would otherwise be thrown away.
