I’ve been at Carymoor since 2018 and have led on the Schools Against Waste project. I’ve visited hundreds of schools across Somerset since I started, telling them all about the 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. I previously worked in the single use food packaging industry, so it’s great to come at it from the other more positive direction! Every day at Carymoor is a good day. Away from work I run CATCH, a community project to improve the habitats in and around the River Cale in Wincanton.

Feedback

  • “This programme is a great way of teaching even very young children about recycling and inspiring them that they can take action to make a difference. Their enthusiasm and knowledge then gets taken home and, hopefully spread through their families and community. It is hugely important that the next generation has this input and gets into good habits as young citizens. Thank you.”

  • "I felt so welcome and there was an amazing atmosphere at Carymoor. I felt a wonderful sense of belonging. My life has changed beyond anything I could have imagined since I came along to a course and subsequently became a volunteer. I could never thank you enough.’

  • I just had to email you to thank you all for such a truly fabulous day. The staff were friendly, enthusiastic and perfectly prepared for all the activities. The children learnt a huge amount and could not stop talking about it on the way home - 'best trip ever' was repeatedly heard!

  • I am proud of what we achieved on the day and my confidence in my abilities is now much higher. I left site with a huge sense of satisfaction. Even now, a few days further on, I marvel at how I was able to create such a challenging, beautiful piece of work that is robust and useful too.
