SHC Wishlist

SHC is a relatively new organisation, and we are only just starting to get new activities and subgroups off the ground. To find out what we are already doing things go to our Get Involved page. However, we have lots of ideas for activities and projects we would love to set up - but we just haven't had the time to get them going yet.

We would really love it if SHC Members or local groups were able to pick some (or even all!!) of these up. And of course we would love to hear from you if there are other 'Wishes' you would like add to the list.

Please contact us via our e.mail address info@sustainableharboroughcommunity.co.uk if you would are interested in anything on our Wish List - either in getting actively involved, or just wanting more information.
