 Come to the Restart Party in Hornchurch this Wednesday
Have
you got a broken electronic item or small appliance that could be fixed instead
of being thrown away?
Come
to a Restart Party at Hornchurch Library on Wednesday 25 May and
our volunteer repairers will see if they can help you fix it. Drop in between
6pm and 9pm. The event is free and open
to everyone. Find out more here.
If
you’d like to volunteer your repair skills at a Restart Party then please get
in touch – we’re always looking for new volunteers! Just come along to the
Hornchurch event to find out more. If
you’re a community group who might be interested in hosting a future Restart Party please email us.
Don’t
forget that electrical and electronic items that cannot be repaired can be
recycled at our reuse
and recycling centres, and some items can be collected at the kerbside.

Free cookery workshop
A free Love Food Hate Waste Cookery Workshop will
take place on Wednesday 8 June, 10am - 12.30pm at Upminster Library. If you
would like to attend this workshop then please register
your interest here.
On
average 44 per cent of black sack rubbish in Havering is food waste. Together we can reduce this figure to help the
environment and save money. If you waste less food it is estimated that
the average family can save up to £60 each month.

Join PASTA survey for chance to win £100
Imperial College London is inviting you to take part in PASTA (Physical Activity Through
Sustainable Transport Approaches), an important research study on the links
between active travel (walking and cycling) and health.
In London, PASTA is focusing on evaluating the impacts of
improved cycling and walking routes as part of the Olympic Legacy. It wants to
recruit 2,000 participants in London by the end of the project in October. We
will not be able to properly and scientifically analyse this infrastructure in
London unless we get more responses. Please complete the survey here.
As a participant, every month you
could be one of three lucky winners to win a £100 cash prize in our monthly
prize draw, or choose to make a donation to a local charity.
