Go Green with SITA UK
Why not use over ripe fruit or vegetables to make nutritious smoothies or warming soups?
Recycling food is better than sending it to landfill, but save yourself time and money by using up what you have already bought!

Memorial Woodlands funeral directors
Memorial Woodlands offers families the chance to say a personal, appropriate farewell in the beautiful surroundings of our woodland cemetery, situated in a peaceful valley just outside Thornbury.
Our onsite chapel and reception rooms will be yours for the day to hold whatever kind of service you wish; traditional, ecological, religious or humanist, and our experienced team will be on hand to help you arrange every detail and guide you through this difficult time.
We offer a full 24 hour funeral directing service and can help you to arrange a funeral at your local church or crematorium as well as at Memorial Woodlands itself.
If you are arranging a funeral now or making plans for the future, please do come to see our beautiful grounds for yourself and learn about our range of services, funeral plans and woodland memorials. We’ll give you all the time, support and advice you need.

Severnside Ramblers
We arrange walks each weekend as well as midweek evenings in the summer. The area and length of the walk varies greatly and members also arrange occasional weekends away.
We have regular social events such as skittles evenings, quiz nights, barbecues and the like, and there is always a Christmas dinner.
However, we are more than just a walking club. The Ramblers is a registered charity and one of its aims is to campaign to keep the footpath network open.
Please visit our website below for details of our walks.
