Don't throw it out! See if another organisation can use it. That's the concept being explored at a special conference at County Hall in Exeter next week.
Public sector organisations are doing more to reuse items of furniture or office equipment by passing them on to someone else rather than throwing them away.

Conference organiser, WARP-It, is a reuse network which helps find, give away, or loan office furniture, equipment and other...

There’s nothing quite like a great British picnic by the sea. We all have fond childhood memories of days out at the seaside; that heady combination of sun, sand and sea along with a dollop of ice-cream, sandy sandwiches and hours of endless fun.
What better way to celebrate 50 years of public support for protecting our precious coastline, than by attending a Big Beach Picnic at Branscombe Beach, this is just one of 15 Big Beach Picnics taking place in the South West on Saturday 4th July 2015 [1]. The Big Beach Picnics are a key moment in our SW Coastal Festival programme, and we...
Cat owners fail to realise the impact of their cat on wildlife according to new research, published today (26 June), from the University of Exeter and Queen Mary University of London.
Cats are increasingly earning themselves a reputation as wildlife killers with estimates of animals killed every year by domestic cats in the UK numbering into the millions.

The researchers studied cats from two UK villages, Mawnan Smith in...

A pharmacy and doctors surgery are now open for the community to use and in summer 2015, opposite the...
