Special Events in 2019

Span was very pleased to host Strutt Your Stuff on Saturday 16th March. The event was organised by Sheena, Angela and a group of hard working volunteers. When Saturday came, it was all hands on deck!!

The event was a fun, inclusive evening of fashion and creativity. It was a celebration of self-expression, individuality and the power of re-using and recycling. It was an all abilities event enabling everyone to connect with other people.

There was something for everyone, a fashion parade using recycled and repurposed clothing, recycled clothes ‘takeaway’, market stalls, dress up photo booth, art exhibition, live music, a DJ and disco dancing.

Span was pumping on the night, it was beyond standing room only!! A great event and fun had by all.

RUBBER BAND COLLECTION RELIEF

While rubber can be recycled, it’s a bit more complicated than tossing it into your average recycle bin. There is actually a specific, separate process for rubber recycling.

Are rubber bands compostable? Technically, yes! Rubber comes from the sap of a rubber tree, and the rule with composting is: If it was once alive, it can be composted. However, rubber takes a long time to break down or biodegrade, sox it is best to reuse rubber bands rather than to toss them in the compost bin.

Don’t throw them out! Span aims to collect Rubber bands and forward them onto organisations, schools and social enterprises that are able to reuse them.
