Sustainable Wantage

Sustainable Wantage is a Community Action Group, part of a network of over 100 similar CAGs across Oxfordshire, focused on activities that protect and enhance our natural environment and strengthen our local community. We are run by volunteers interested in actions that have a positive impact and increase our resourcefulness and resilience as a community.

Come and lend a hand looking after Wantage Market Garden! We work on a variety of gardening and DIY tasks each Sunday afternoon. A great opportunity if:you're looking to learn to gardenyou love gardening but don't have much outdoor space at homeoryou just like working with others and enjoying a cuppa and a biscuit in return for your time! No need to book, just come along any Sunday to have a look around and get involved.All welcome.
