WHAT WE DO
Some of our Key Projects
An important part of managing our collective resources responsibly is the adage: Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Repair & Repurpose, Recycle.
The Buxton Library of Things provides affordable access to over 100 useful resources and things that you don’t need to own.
Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

We’re delighted to be returning to Buxton Community School on 29 September for another lunchtime Clothes Swap and Upcycling event helping to reduce waste, help with the cost of living, and enjoy the wonderful world of 2nd hand clothes. If you study or work at the school simply bring some clean adult garments in good condition, exchange each item for a voucher, then shop the rails and tables for new to you clothes in exchange for your vouchers. The Stitch Don’t Ditch team will be on hand to help with alterations and up-cycling. This one is just for the school community for safeguarding reasons, we’ll let you know when we’ve set a date for the next public one.

We want your 2nd hand Halloween costumes to use on 23 October when we will be in the Assembly Rooms for Upcycling With A Spooky Twist as part of the Free Family Fun Day 10am-3pm. We will be making new Halloween costumes for children out of donated materials and old costumes. You will find costume donation boxes in the Library, the Pump Room, and the Station waiting room. Donated costumes don't need to be complete or in great condition, but we'd appreciate them being clean. Thanks in advance.
