Barking Riverside Residents Association

1.5 tonnes of clothes recycled in one month ♻️👀

In March alone, Barking Riverside residents donated more than 1,500kg of unwanted clothes and textiles through the neighbourhood’s TRAID clothes banks.

That’s the equivalent of 1,512kg diverted from landfill - helping reduce carbon emissions and giving used items a second life.

There are two TRAID clothes banks available at Barking Riverside:
📍 Rivergate Square
📍 Northgate neighbourhood, near The Wilds car park

Whether it’s old clothes, shoes or other textiles, donating is a simple way to reduce waste and support more sustainable fashion. Head to our TRAID banks after your next Spring clear-out 👕

Almost one week to go 🎬

We have great plans to mark the opening of the Circus and Kings Hill on Saturday 16th May with a full day of open-air cinema - and tickets are already going fast.

It’s going to be a wonderful day, filled with family films all afternoon and a blockbuster in the evening. Deckchairs are ready and a range of food and drink will be available to purchase on the day.

Free popcorn will be kindly provided by the Barking Riverside Resident Events Panel, who will be on hand to discuss their summer events programme.

Tickets cost £5 for adults and £3 for children. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Here’s what’s on:
📽️ 1pm – Inside Out 2 (U)
📽️ 4pm – Goat (PG)
📽️ 7pm – Jurassic World: Rebirth (12A)

The event is fully outdoors, so dress for anything - suncream or a coat, maybe both! 🌤️
