Our current committee consists of:

Please note that all the wardens of the sites are also members of the committee. A list can be found on the Sites page.
The Society need people of all ages to come on board and take part in the running of the organisation. If you would like to help please make yourself known to your warden or contact us.

I have numerous guinea pigs and on a weekly basis have bags of waste which may be of use to help boost your compost heap. I can separate the shavings from the bedding which will consist of hay, sometimes a tiny amount of barley straw , any greens not eaten ie carrots, kale etc and most importantly lots of pig poo which is in pellet form .i am just off the Malmesbury Road and it is available weekly . If shavings are wanted as well the quantity will be 12 extra large black refuse bags weekly .
It’s currently taken to the recycling centre but I’d rather it be recycled

We have lots of sheets of wool insulation from food delivery boxes. We’ve used it for cat beds, bird nesting material and around seedlings but have still developed a stockpile!
We also have lots of spare soil if anyone wants to bring a bag and fill up.
If you’re interested in either, please get in touch. We’re in central Chippenham.
