Bin Twinning’

Fordingbridge Twinning Association is proud to have donated to the project ‘Bin Twinning’ (www.bintwinning.org ) and sponsored a bin in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The charity uses money donated to fund social enterprises that collect rubbish, dispose of it safely, and recycle as much as possible. Many projects upcycle waste into items for sale – from compost to paving blocks – and proceeds are ploughed back into community development. All projects create dignified jobs for society’s most vulnerable people. A poster on a bin in Fordingbridge in the Rec gives details.

Plans for 2022

The association hopes its next “always a sell-out” annual Murder Mystery evening will be on Saturday, March 12, 2022 to meet up again for the much loved annual event. An informal boules evening is planned for later this Summer.

Next year is the 40th anniversary of Fordingbridge twinned with Vimoutiers, and the celebrations in France are during the weekend of June 30 to July 3.
