Mini Ponds – Maximum Impact! 💧🐸

Did you know that even a tiny pond can become a fantastic habitat for all sort of creatures, including dragonflies, frogs and newts?

Plus, even mini ponds can provide a vital source of water for animals such as birds, bats and hedgehogs!

Learn more about mini ponds and how YOU can make one (it's super easy!) on our website, at www.framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk/mini-ponds-maximum-impact

Have you made a mini pond, or any other space for nature?

🌱 Sign up to the Frampton Cotterell Community Nature Reserve! 🌱

🛠 Repair Café: Our First Birthday! 🎉
📆 Date: Saturday 6th June.
⏰ Time: 11AM - 1PM.
📌 Location: The Royal British Legion, Frampton Cotterell, BS36 2HW.

Join us this June to celebrate the first year of the Frampton Cotterell Repair Café! We can’t quite believe that it’s already been a whole year…

A whole year of saving broken items from landfill. A year of saving you money by helping with repairs so you don’t have to replace. A year of saving the planet by fixing one small thing at a time.

…And more than that, it’s been a whole year of growing our Repair community, sharing time, sharing skills and making new friends!

We couldn’t be more proud, Frampton Cotterell. Thank you, everyone!

So come along on June 6th, just as you have for the past 12 months, for free repairs on items including jewellery, woodwork, electricals, clothing – and more! The Crochet & Knit Club will also be running their usual crafts corner, featuring their popular haberdashery swap and “How-To” session.

No booking required, and all repairs are free. Refreshments will be available for purchase, cash only. Donations gratefully accepted.

Everyone is welcome!

Oh, and yes, there will be birthday cake… 🍰🥳
