We  are a Community Action Group working to benefit the community by encouraging, promoting and facilitating sustainability in Wantage, Grove and surrounding villages. We run projects and activities on a range of themes, predominantly from our hub The Mix Community Space, which has a Community Fridge, Library of Things, Refill station, monthly Repair Cafes, and a variety of workshops and courses. Additionally we run Wantage Community Larder, we manage Pewit Woodland, Top Lock Meadow, and we are part of a partnership looking after Wantage Market Garden Project with Style Acre and Oxfordshire County Council. We also have a Wild Wantage project which works with local volunteers, schools and community groups with the aim of improving outdoor spaces, for the enjoyment of local residents and to increase opportunities for biodiversity.
