Your generous donations mean we have secured enough money to buy a box a month, for 2026, to continue the Blister packet recycling scheme.

Thank you to Ed Heigham keeping Tollesbury Christmas ‘rubbish’ loved.

We are so pleased to announce that we now have two benches at The Community Orchard for you to use.

Saving and swapping seeds has been a way for us to preserve and keep alive local and heritage varieties of flowers, herbs and vegetables for centuries.

Over a tonne of recyclables (batteries, light bulbs, soft plastics, bras, water filters etc etc) have been diverted from our black bags, in 16 months.

We are so excited to introduce our toy library to Woodup Pool.

Swifts are unique birds by any standard. At level flight they are the fastest birds in the sky having evolved to be superbly well adapted to a life in the air.

After months of meticulous planning we were ready for the grand opening at 10am on Saturday June 14th 2025.

In recent times the burning of rubbish and waste, including plastics, has become a troubling issue globally. Each year around 1 billion tonnes of waste worldwide are disposed in unregulated open dumps which are often set alight, accounting for more than 40% of the world’s garbage disposal. The UK, including Tollesbury, contributes to that

A special highlight of the event was a performance by students from Tollesbury School, who shared poems inspired by the orchard.
