Spring in Our Step!

We have so much going on during this sunshine filled week and wanted to share what we’re up to. Safe to say there’s a sustainable theme running through.

As you’ll know, cycling is a welcome form of active travel with so many benefits. With that in mind we were delighted to host the wonderful Neil from WatBike for our Dr Bike session on Tuesday. Every cyclist here received a detailed report outlining any issues that may need attention, whether in the short term or further down the line, full safety checks and minor repairs were completed too. The bikes are in great shape and good to go.

This session perfectly aligned with our Spring in Your Step challenge on the Pacer app which runs throughout March. Our Toffees are battling it out with their neighbours – walking, running and cycling to take first prize, we’re on day five and it is already very competitive!

Our International Women’s Day celebration also has a sustainability theme with guest speakers, Heather Devey from Wild Intrigue and Ruth Watson from Ecologico sharing their stories. We’re looking forward to hosting our female Toffees and Ouseburn neighbours for an evening of making connections, celebrating successes and sparking collaborations. #GiveToGain

This will be the first visit by Ecologico who will become a regular monthly pop-up here with Vanny de Vito – their fully stocked mobile shop, catering for all of your refill needs. You will find a host of food cupboard staples, green cleaning products and plenty to pamper yourself with too. The prices are very competitive so you’ll save while shopping sustainably. More on this soon. 

Right, we’re off to get some steps in…
