Living Local
The Living Local gals continue to meet and are busier than ever. We are currently providing refreshments at Mill View Primary School's Farmers Market (being held on the 3rd Saturday of each month). Hopefully our delicious coffee and cake will prove popular and we look forward to seeing you there.
We hope to see you at the next meeting.
Emma, Elizabeth, Louise and Trudy.

Living Local is a sub committee of Upton Village WI. A small group who meet outside of the monthly members meeting. The group started after many members expressed an interest in local issues at a brain storming meeting early 2008, one of the first Upton Village WI meetings.
Living Local is a WI campaign which began in 2006. Starting off as a project in a Devon village where WI members campaigned to get local produce onto the shelves of their supermarkets. They had great success and struck up a partnership with SPAR. Inspired by this campaign we have used the original ethos to form our group.
We aim to highlight to our members that living in a community is more fun and rewarding if you try and do it the local way. Why not make the most of what is on your doorstep, whether that be when shopping, using local amenities, helping improve your local environment or looking after your own little piece of the planet.
