21,000 meals provided to support vulnerable groups in the last year.
50,000 participants engaged in activities in 2023.

Cherwell Collective, CIC is a grassroots not-for-profit leading multiple community projects aimed at reducing waste, building community resilience, and empowering vulnerable groups.

Help YOUR community cut carbon footprints and support one another through crisis.
