About us
About Sustainable Wantage
Sustainable Wantage is a Community Action Group, part of a network of over 100 similar groups across Oxfordshire. We’re run by volunteers and focus on practical projects that protect the environment and strengthen our local community. Our current work centres on Food, Biodiversity, Waste Reduction and Energy. Our home is The Mix on Mill Street, Wantage.
At Sustainable Wantage, community is at the heart of everything we do. We’re a group of local people working together to build a more sustainable, resilient, and supportive town. Through shared action and everyday choices, we’re creating a future that’s better for everyone.
