The Zero Waste group is built around a simple idea — most things that get thrown away don’t need to be. We help people in Silsden get more out of what they already own, and waste less in the process.
Running a monthly Repair Café where volunteers fix clothes, electricals, bikes and more

Organising community collections including for unwanted tech, tools, textiles, stationery, medication and bikes
