29 06 2024 A lovely warm and sunny morning for the Lancing Village Summer Trail and Fayre in South Street. Keep Lancing Lovely were very grateful to have a stall to display some of our materials, to chat to the public about what we do and bring our supporters along to boost the numbers.
Two particular matters on our Agenda today. To promote an offer made by Recycling in Lancing to Exchange a Reusable Plastics Drink Bottle for recycling and get a Metal Reusable one for free. Also to encourage visitors to download the Refill App to find out where to top up for free their Reusable Water Bottle.
A steady stream of locals were given our free items to encourage more understanding about water sustainability; action householders can take to boost local Nature and neat little items to keep oil and fats out of the water disposal system.
These regular markets give us a really good opportunity to encourage participation in our regular community litter picks on the last day of the month at Lancing beach.
Signing in is from 10am tomorrow morning and we will be litter picking until 1130am when we will weigh up, recycle what we can and take photos. We provide all the kit and everyone is fully insured. Please wear suitable footwear for being on the beach and suitable headware as the sun is strong at this time of the year.
Look for our flags on Beach Green near The Kiosk/The Perch and come on down to help us protect our beautiful coastline, creatures and Nature ...

19 03 2024 It was a great pleasure to be the guests of The Trefoil Gild last evening at their meeting in The Church Hall at St Michael and All Angels in Lancing. We were made to feel very welcome, thank you!
It gave us a welcome opportunity to tell our story, which is a very good one. Now in our 10th Birthday Day Year, about our monthly beach litter picks. Why we started them. Where and when they take place, what we are collecting and thoughts on our progress.
We spoke also about our formal Station Partnership at Lancing Railway Station, how we tend the gardens there, events we have held there and our mission to promote sustainable public transport.
About Refill Lancing, where we are a part of the national scheme where businesses allow people to fill their water containers for free. We promoted the App that Smartphone users and businesses can download to sign up.
And Plastic Free Lancing where we have joined Surfers Against Sewage in their National Campaign to eliminate the use of single use plastic by businesses and organisations. The Gild will be exploring doing that.
There was then a discussion on the "difficult question" of just how we as individuals and organisations can act against what seems at times the impossible challenge of plastic packaging, recycling and sustainability. Also some thoughtful and honest conversations on the impact on us as we move towards Zero Carbon.
That lovely cuppa and biscuits gave another chance to talk over the presentation.
Keep Lancing Lovely are keen to visit businesses, schools, community groups and organisations to talk about sustainability, recycling, plastic free communities and the role that we all have to play in those. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in doing that.
The mood of the evening was a positive one that will be built on by working together towards the goals that are setting ourselves.
