A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the community litter pick yesterday. 24 volunteers and 16 bags of litter collected. Well done everyone.
We were surprised at how much litter there was this time as over the years, the amount we have collected at each event has reduced. Sadly, this time it had increased and we're still having to pick up 'poo' bags!!!!!
Our thanks to the Parish Council for the loan of the litter picking equipment and for collecting the bags.
Look out for our next community litter pick which will be held in the spring.

Repair Cafe
Our next Repair Café will be held on
24 November 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
at Chinnor Village Hall
(last item accepted before 12:00 pm)
At the Repair Cafe, we try to fix broken household items in a collaborative and social way. The idea is to help you learn how to repair items and that you gain knowledge from the fixers. Items we are able to fix will depend entirely on the expertise of our volunteers on the day. This is a brilliant way to prevent waste and save you money and to enjoy our tea and cakes in this most sociable activity.
So, bring along your small portable broken electrical items, household items and clothes and we will try to help you repair them. More details and a full list of what we can and can’t accept will be updated and published on our website alternatively you can book your item in with our online Booking Form.
If you would like to help out at this event as a 'fixer', with registration and facilitation or helping to make tea ... email Linda at greeningchinnor@gmail.com or call 07973 788339.
Donkey Lane Community Orchard
Greening Chinnor are delighted to announce that we are working with Mr Derek Nixey, Chinnor Parish Council and The Chiltern Conservation Board to regenerate and restore the old, overgrown orchard in Donkey Lane.
Our aim is to restore the orchard to be a viable and shared community area. Not only are we looking at restoration but also about finding out and recording the habitat, wildlife and social history of the site. To enable this exiting project to get off the ground, we are looking for volunteers to help process the project.
We are holding an open general meeting on Wednesday 21 November in the White's Field Community Hall at 7:30 pm. To find out more come along and see what we’re planning. Light refreshments will be served.
PLEASE NOTE NEW VENUE!
