Make It Sustainable needs your help in securing £20k from the Severn Trent Community Fund to set up a community composting project, preventing food waste going to landfill, and supplying compost to grow more food locally,  using zero carbon bike transport.

If we’re successful, we’ll:

  • Establish a compost area at The Old Print Works, to compost locally produced food waste safely and effectively;

  • Work with local organisations, such as our friends at Change Kitchen CIC, to divert food waste from landfill;

  • ‘Earth' the compost locally - to grow food and support ecosystems, via bike-distributed flat-pack raised bed growing kits for Green Square Accord housing association tenants, and other local growing projects such as Fruit and Nut Village;

  • Expand the growing space of The Old Print Works  in order to grow more food for consumption on the premises;

  • Document and share the learning, collaboration and change that take place through the project, using photography and video.

And in doing so support our charitable aims and create 2 part-time roles for the duration of the project.

Voting will be live for 3 weeks, from 10am on 1st April to midnight on 24th April 2022.
