We had a visit from an Environmental Health Officer today for a hygiene inspection, and look what he left behind for us 🤩
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We've had a 4-star rating for a few years, and we're delighted to have made it a 5. A special shout out today to cooking team leaders and our cleaning volunteers in particular – you're doing an amazing job for the community, and you're doing it *well*. 🙂

For anyone else in #CambridgeUK or #SouthCambridgeshire wondering when their food waste collections will start:

Put an address in https://www.greatercambridgewaste.org/find-your-household-bin-collection-day, and then download the .ics file ("Add dates to calendar") and open it in a text editor; there's a header like one of:

X-GCSW-FOODWASTE-FROM:20260127
X-GCSW-FOODWASTE-FROM:20260428
X-GCSW-FOODWASTE-FROM:20260630
X-GCSW-FOODWASTE-FROM:20260929

which I take to be the start date (e.g. 20260428 = 28 April 2026).

It's Stitch 'n' Bitch time, everyone!

If you're in #CambridgeUK and have an urge to repair/upcycle your clothes, to show other how you do it and/or to learn how to sew, darn, knit, crochet, or similar, you're very welcome to come along. Bring a sock to fix up, or just watch and learn.

This will coincide with the weekly CCK Tuesday open invitation sit-down community meal. It's free, and it's for anyone who wants to eat a hot meal and meet people.

Tue 20 Jan, from 18:30

NB There's very little bitching involved, really, honest.
