Events including the Volunteering Fair, talk on eco-renovation, upcyling event, bike training, vegetable instrument making, clothes swish, walks, litter picks, June's local Repair Cafe and much more.
An exciting programme of green and community events is planned by Totally Leighton Buzzard in partnership with local charities, community groups and businesses throughout June for Great Big Green Week (including the local Volunteering Fair being held at All Saints Church on Saturday 14 June from 10am to 3pm).
It takes a massive amount of time and effort to organise these events for the good of our community so we would really welcome everyone's support by attending as many events as possible. By attending you are supporting the local businesses and charities involved. The vast majority of the events are free to attend. They are all about connecting with neighbours, raising awareness and celebrating and strengthening our community. The events scheduled to take place are as follows:
