Wesley’s, the community café at The Spire, (Poole Methodist Church), in Poole High Street is the latest venue for you to drop off your biscuit wrappers.  Open 10am to 3pm Monday to Saturday, look out for the box with this poster on.

Do you love recycling and hate throwing things in the bin if you can help it?  If so, we have started an e-alert group of people who would like to help local charities, schools etc., with items they need which they can save from their recycling or rubbish bin.  This may be a one-off request say for yoghurt pots or egg boxes, or something they need all the time e.g. mobile phones or printer ink cartridges which they use to help with fundraising.  By being included in the e-alert group you’ll also get to hear when a new We Need That update goes on our website as well as special events such as Recycle Week.  If you would like to be included in the group please email Monique: contact@ideas2action.org.uk

Great news The Pie House in Tuckton is taking part in Recycle Week and from 22-28 June they are inviting customers to bring in their unwanted sunglasses/spectacles, mobile phones, wool and broken jewellery/beads etc., which they will donate to charities.

We are having an information stand in Poole Central Library and residents in Creekmoor and Canford Heath will be donating items they have been saving on Saturday 27 June.
