This Thursday, 29 October, marks 12 months since we launched Full Circle, our community refill project. We’re celebrating by opening our fourth hub, at Cheshire Home Store in Chester Market. Join us from 5pm. We’d love to see you there.

It’s been quite a year. What started as an idea in my garage, which is now our refill warehouse, has grown into a network of hubs in Hoole, Neston and Helsby. Now we’re opening in the heart of Chester too. Every refill means one less plastic bottle bought and thrown away, and you’ve made that happen. Thank you to every customer, volunteer and partner who has refilled, shared, collected and cheered us on.

Our new Chester hub works a little differently. It’s our first “unlocked” hub. You still order your refills online as usual, then simply show the team at Cheshire Home Store your order confirmation email when you collect. It’s easy, local and right in the city centre.

There’s plenty going on, so bring the family:
• Drinks and nibbles to toast our first birthday
• Spin the wheel for the chance to win a prize
• Kids colouring sheet launch

So pop along on Thursday, say hello, raise a (reusable) cup with us and see the new hub for yourself.

Can’t make it? You can still help us celebrate. Switch just one cleaning or laundry liquid to a Full Circle refill this month. Small swaps, made by lots of us, are how we keep plastic out of our homes and our environment.

See you Thursday!
