Reduce waste.
Build community.
Save the planet.
Cherwell Collective emphasises social connection and engages the community to address the climate crisis.
We focus on sharing innovations to reduce waste, and knowledge to shrink carbon footprints.
Along the way, we draw locals from all backgrounds and belief systems to build systems that help feed the community, encourage a circular economy, and build climate resilience.
Tickets are now live for our third annual Sustainable Fashion Show at Blenheim Palace.
Celebrate Sustainable Fashion Week with this vibrant runway display showcasing over 70 looks from eco-conscious designers defining the future of fashion.
We address the problems of waste in several arenas: food, household goods, fashion, plastics, and consumer goods. We share innovative ways to reduce and repurpose waste and we distribute food surplus and a library of household resources to help reduce consumption and overproduction.
Our activities improve the health of both our natural and human environment. By working together as a community, we also provide mutual support that reduces loneliness and promotes social equity, contributing to a well-rounded well-being for current and future generations.
Climatarian Kitchen is a community café in Kidlington, cooking exclusively with food surplus. We reduce local food waste and educate about the Carbon Cost of food.
WISH empowers people to repurpose, reuse, rethink, and repair common household waste through tutorials, workshops, swaps, and creative innovation.
Harvest @ Home helps people learn to grow their own food to enjoy sustainable, in-season, low Carbon Cost fruit and veg, reducing consumption while boosting food security and well-being.
Cherwell Larder Marketplace redistributes food surplus and household surplus to reduce waste and combat food insecurity within our Oxfordshire communities.
Oxford Party Library is a ‘library of things’, lending out common supplies for parties and events to the community while promoting sharing and reducing overconsumption of single-use or infrequently used items.
