24 people popped into St Paul’s Church hall on Canford Heath on Saturday 8 September with items of plastic waste which will now be helping 4 good causes.  In addition, Canford Heath scouts had collected a large sack of milk bottle tops, so donations were received from a total of 36 households.  The event was held jointly with the Association of Residents of Canford Heath (ARCH) which raised over £90 in the sale of refreshments.
