Support Us

Do you shop at your local Co-op? Well if you do please choose us as your LOCAL CAUSE 

Our project has been selected as one of the local causes in the Rishton and Clayton-le-Moors Co-op stores. Support our cause and 1% of what you spend on most Co-op products and services will automatically go to support our environmental work.

If you are a Co-op member sign in via THIS LINK and you will be able to choose our project to receive your donations wherever you are in the country!

Over the next 12 months we will be carrying out environmental projects with local community groups in Rishton and Clayton. Activities will include work on the canal towpath, conservation management in local woodlands, food growing and improving biodiversity in school grounds, Churchyards and other areas of green space and encouraging people to become members of the two PROSPECTS Panels in the area. If you are interested in getting involved then please get in touch!

National Tree Week (23rd November to 1st December 2019) is the UK’s largest annual tree celebration, marking the start of the winter tree planting season and is a great chance for communities to do something positive for their local treescape. This is how you can get involved

We are putting on 3 activities during Tree Week this year:

Saturday 23rd November – Rothwell Heights Forest School tree planting

Wednesday 27th November  – winter tree ID walk around Whinney Hill

Saturday 30th November – Plantation woodland ancient trees

See the What’s On calendar for more details of these events

WRAP UP LANCASHIRE IS BACK!

For the 2nd year running Rotarians in Lancashire are collecting your old, unwanted coats and giving them to charities that support the homeless, refugees, children living in poverty and people fleeing domestic violence (to name a few) and our very own Windfall Fund has supported the project.

Any size, style, colour of men’s, women’s and children’s coats will be greatly appreciated. All donations will then be sorted and delivered to our nominated charity partners, for distribution to those in need just in time for winter.

Help keep vulnerable people warm this winter by donating a coat this Winter!

We have started an ink toner and cartridge recycling scheme. Please drop off your empty toner and ink cartridges in our collection box at the PROSPECTS Environment Centre in Accrington and we will ensure they are processed and recycled in the UK according to all current environmental waste regulations.

The cartridges will be recorded and sorted according to brand and re-usability. Re-usable cartridges will be re-manufactured and re-used. Non-reusable cartridges will be broken down and separated into raw materials such as plastic, metals and toner then re-used in other industries.

So what are you waiting for – drop off your used ink toners and cartridges now – if not disposed of in this way one cartridge can take 1,000 years to decompose
