Planet Wimborne, Wimborne War on Waste, Wimborne Town Council and Wimborne BID want to thank everyone who sent in ideas for what should go on the Wimborne Cup. There were over 50 entries received from people who love the town. The reusable cup will be launched at this year’s Folk Festival to reduce plastic waste and litter.

It’s now over to you, the public, to help choose the final design out of three choices.

Medical Kit for Ukraine

Do you have crutches, surgical jackets or other medical kit lurking in your cupboards. The NHS don’t want it back and charity shops won’t take it, so what can you do with it?

Donate it to Ukraine Relief. They are in desperate need of medical kit that can be sent to Ukraine. The Minster Environment Group will be in the Minster on 26th April where you can drop off your kit for Ukraine Relief to collect.

World Environment Day

Plastic pollution permeates every corner of the planet – even in our bodies in the form of microplastics. World Environment Day 2025 calls for collective action to tackle plastic pollution.

By drawing inspiration from nature and showcasing real-world solutions, the campaign will encourage individuals, organizations, industries, and governments to adopt sustainable practices that drive systemic change.

This year’s World Environment Day comes exactly two months before countries meet again to continue negotiating a global treaty to end plastic pollution.
