Sustainable Wantage

Sustainable Wantage is a community action group focusing on activities that strengthen the local community and enhance the natural environment.

They work at a local level to create opportunities for individuals to reduce their carbon footprint, provide information to support positive actions, and collaborate with local councils and organisations on their responses to the climate crisis.

The Mix Community Space on Mill Street is their home in Wantage town centre, where they hold monthly Green Drinks meetings on the last Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm. The Mix is also home to their repair cafés and community fridge.

Their projects include a Market Garden with Oxfordshire County Council and Style Acre, providing a space for people with learning difficulties to develop skills, grow their own food and become more independent.

They also took over the lease and management of Pewit Woodland from the Woodland Trust, maintaining and opening up the woods through community projects to create a haven for wildlife and a space for local people to enjoy.
