Working to make Woodend plastic bag free.

Woodend Community Bags are taking the town by storm in a positive step toward making Woodend plastic bag free.

​

Volunteers from all walks of life are getting together at the Woodend Neighbourhood House to make reusable Woodend Community Bags- Boomerang Bags from recycled materials.

 

There are many ways to be involved and sewing skills aren’t necessary!

 

Over a cuppa, cake, a chat and a giggle, you can learn how to sew, cut, pin, bundle, and iron... and make some lovely friends.

Where should people donate materials?

​

Materials can be dropped off at the Woodend Neighbourhood House between 9.30am – 3pm Monday to Friday in term time. 

​

How can I get involved?

​

Sewing bees take place weekly at the Woodend Neighbourhood House in the Undercroft, 9.30am-12.30pm on Thursdays. Drop-in at any time – no sewing skills required!
