Is your calendar overflowing this summer? How about your rubbish bin?
Now we’re in the hotter months, we all want to pack in the fun plans we’ve rescheduled since 2020.
But “going out” can be synonymous with “throwing out” if we’re not careful: plastic waste skyrockets by up to 40% during the summer.
Plastic Free July came about as an initiative to reduce plastic waste 11 years ago.
Their founders, the Plastic Free Foundation, envisaged a future where we’re totally free of plastic waste.
140 million people participated in Plastic Free July last year and together they reduced global household landfill waste by 1.2 million tonnes.
The official site offers 3 goals for Plastic Free July, depending on what’s most feasible for you:
Going plastic-free doesn’t have to mean compromising your favourite activities – and nor does it mean keeping a load of clutter around. With a bit of planning, plastic-free changes can turn into habits we soon won’t even bat an eye at.
Holland and Barrett have put together some more sustainable swaps to get you through Plastic-Free July and beyond – especially when you’re out out.

Its National volunteering week (1st – 6th June) and to celebrate we have been speaking with the volunteers at Children’s Hospice South West’s to find out what they like about volunteering.
Jill – I’ve been volunteering at CHSW charity shop ever since it opened in August 2019. I help with sorting donations, pricing, the till and displaying the stock in the shop. Its a fun and very sociable place to volunteer and a fantastic charity to donate your time to.
Carolyn – In January 2022, I became a volunteer in the CHSW shop in Bradley Stoke. Since then I have been involved in most aspects of the general day to day duties necessary to help the shop run smoothly. Its varied and interesting and I really enjoy working with other volunteers, its very social, and great to know that you are helping a very worthy cause.
CHSW about their volunteers:
‘Our wonderful volunteers really are our stars and we couldn’t do what we do without them. They support us in many ways and help to make the world of difference to our families. It is through the time and care of ordinary people that we can do extraordinary things.’
All volunteers have their own motivations for being part of the Children’s Hospice South West team but here are just a few reasons why being a volunteer is so great:
Previous experience would be an advantage but isn’t essential as we will provide you with any necessary training and the chance to get involved in a number of different activities.
CHSW Bradley Stoke are looking for more volunteers so why not volunteer some of your time and share your skills to help make the most of short and precious lives. Every hour you can give will make a difference to families facing an uncertain future. For more information and to register your interest you can call Glynnis on 01454 612622 or pop into store to speak with her.
National Walking Month takes place every May and is a great opportunity to get active and learn about where the local walks are in your area and what benefits you can feel from walking.
