RESIDENTS in Coleford are being invited to a free community sustainability event taking place this week.

Organised by Severn Wye Energy Agency, the event will be held at Coleford Baptist Church on Newland Street and aims to bring together local organisations and residents to explore ways of living more sustainably and saving money.

Visitors can take part in children’s activities run by Gloucestershire Gateway Trust and make their own terrarium with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.

The Forest Exchange will offer free household goods, clothing and toys.

Free refreshments, food waste caddies and a prize draw with locally sourced prizes will also be available across both days.

The event runs Friday, April 24, 11am–7pm, and Saturday, April 25, 10am–4pm.
