Win on Waste

It so many people to run a small charity. Today, we want to say a massive THANK YOU. 🙏✨Because we don't have massive budgets, Win on Waste relies entirely on the kindness of our local community. Today, we are publicly thanking:

🙌 Our incredible regular donors who bring recycling to our sessions.
🙌 The local grant funders like and Talbot Village Trust who generously fund our work
🙌 Every single person who has liked, commented, or shared our posts.

We might be small, but our community is mighty.

Win on Waste is all about turning rubbish into good stuff! We help individuals, businesses, and communities reduce waste, recycle smarter.

Our Southbourne session takes place at Immanuel URC Church, 120 Southbourne Road, Southbourne, BH6 3QJ on the third Saturday of each month (unless otherwise advised), between 10.30am - 11.30am.

Great news for Wimborne residents - there is now a DonateIT drop off point at Allendale House - all information is on the poster, but this is a dedicated, regular drop off point in that can accept a wide range of tech items to be either refurbished or recycled.

Planet Wimborne has been working with them for a number of years to both provide a solution to tech recycling but also to provide laptops to those who need them for work or school.

Small in size, but massive in impact.

- Did you know that small charities make up the vast majority of the voluntary sector, providing a lifeline directly to the heart of our communities? We don't have massive corporate budgets, which means every single penny and hour donated goes straight to the frontline where it matters most.

- This , we are celebrating our incredible community. You make our grassroots mission possible.

Fun Fact Friday – remaking and reusing old jewellery can reduce carbon emissions by 80% however globally only around 12% of jewellery gets recycled. Many of our Win on Waste sessions collect old and broken jewellery that gets recycled raising funds for Transform Trade.

Fun Fact Friday – World Cup style – it’s estimated that 100,000 tonnes of sports kit goes into landfill every year – that is the equivalent of 951 UK football shirts per minute ending up in landfill. What can you do – think before you buy and sell or pass on old shirts – there are a number of schemes available to recycle/upcycle old shirts.
