Established in 2019, a group for volunteers who care about the town and want to reduce waste and single use plastic. Volunteers created enough fabric bunting to cover the town in 2019 and made red white and blue jubilee bunting in 2022. In 2023 the group has made over 500 Boomerang Bags. These have been donated to Wimborne Food Bank and to some of our independent shops in town.

The Great Big Green Week is the UK's biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature.
Welcome to Great Big Green Week 2025, when a million people – just like you – will come together to be part of a wave of actions for friends and family, climate and nature.
We can all make small swaps, large swaps and swaps that change the system, to make our communities better.
By coming together, we’ll also send a message loud and clear to our politicians and decision makers that we need to swap old ways for better ways now.
World Refill Day is a global campaign to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste
