ZWC December dates
Why not pop in for a cuppa and a slice of Christmas cake this December? We’ve got 7 Zero Waste Cafes running this month before we take a wee festive break!
Food Share Locations
An incredible network of over 50 volunteers collect the food from the islands Co-op supermarkets and take it back to their villages to distribute within the community. Check out when the Food Share is in your village in the schedule below.
Please be aware due to Christmas Store Opening Times this schedule will change slightly and we will update times online in due course.

Active Travel Dates for your Diary!
From Tuesday 4th November, our weekly Tuesday drop-ins are taking a break. Instead, we’ll be running monthly E-Bike Servicing sessions and a monthly Saturday Bike Club with relaxed drop-ins, basic repairs, try-outs and wee community rides.
Our first December sessions are coming up:
• Saturday Bike Club on Saturday the 13th of December, 11am to 6pm
• E-Bike Servicing on Tuesday the 16th December, 11am to 4pm
We’ll also be joined by our Zero Waste Cafe on the above dates from 12-2pm! All sessions are at the Ormidale Pavilion.
For bookings or questions: emma@arranecosavvy.org.uk
Please note the Pavilion won’t be staffed outside these times, so bikes can’t be left there.
And good news, we’re also trialling longer e-bike loan periods this winter to make low-carbon travel that bit easier.
