Sustainable Crediton newsletter issue 156 June 2024

As I write this it is raining and June is not exactly busting out all over! But the pollinator plots look great. This month we have concentrated on National Volunteers Week - take a look at our articles celebrating volunteers. There is also a review of Sustainable Crediton's AGM which again shows what great achievements can be made with a collection of Crediton residents.

Best wishes, Lesley Thomas and John Craythorne, Joint Newsletter Editors
