Here at Healthiest Town we believe in the proverb the 'fruit of a tree falls near its roots' and so we are so pleased to announce the start of a community orchard for Aberfeldy.

You can join us at the very start of the growing stage of this project, and help with preparing and planting our trees at the land between Dalweem Care Home and Breadalbane Men's Shed, off Taybridge Road. Please come along tomorrow (Wednesday, March 11), 10am to noon, with spades or forks if you have them, to help us prepare, and then on Saturday, we'll be planting, 10am to noon, with hot chocolate provided for helpers.

Everyone is welcome to join us.

A huge shout out to all the women who help out with Healthiest Town ... And in particular these two inspirations; there from the very start and doing so much out front and in the background. Without them, there would be no HT.

💚 WHY IT MATTERS 💚
Since we started in 2020 we have carried out approximately 800 repairs, approximately 96% of which have been fixed!
This is what Aberfeldy Repair Café does:
📻 Saves treasured memories
💰 Saves money (average £30 per repair!)
🌍 Keeps waste out of landfills
🤝 Builds community connections
Over 6 years, we've repaired hundreds of items and helped our community.
But we can't continue without YOU.
We urgently need volunteers for repairs, admin, and hospitality.
One morning a month. That's your time. That's our future.
Don't let these stories end. Volunteer today.
Get in touch: aberfeldyrepaircafe@gmail.com
Or show up on Saturday, March 14th, 2.00-4.00 pm at Aberfeldy Parish Church, Taybridge Road

Join us for our Too Good To Waste action week - and help end the 4.4 million tonnes of edible food that is thrown away each year in the UK. Aberfeldy’s Healthiest Town and Climate Cafe are joining forces in March to promote Food Waste Action Week, taking place March 9 to 15. Love Food Hate Waste - Scotland

We kick-start our local campaign on Tuesday, March 10, with a fun and informative event at The Birks Cinema Aberfeldy for a film night and food waste cookery demo.

From 6pm to 7pm, community chef Nick, from The Perthshire Table, will be showing us some great recipes for using up leftovers and waste food. Following this, we’ll be screening Food Inc 2, the sequel to the 2008 Emmy-award winning documentary. Filmmakers Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo reunite with investigative authors Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser to take a fresh look at our efficient yet vulnerable food system.

Book tickets here: https://birkscinema.co.uk/films-events/films/food,-inc-2/

One place has become available on the Felting a Story Pocket workshop that's taking place tomorrow (Thursday Feb 19, 11am to 1pm, at Aberfeldy Town Hall).

We will be felting around a river pebble to create a small pouch just big enough to hold tiny treasures collected on a gentle mindful walk.

It's free to attend - please comment below if you would like this last place.
