If you’ve started the year worried about the cost of living rises or making ends meet in general, Utility Warehouse want to help you manage your household bills. You can visit them at the Love Newmarket BID office on Tuesday 27th February between 11am-1pm where they can offer confidential advice and support. Another great town-wide initiative has launched this month in the form of a volunteer network organised by The Racing Centre. If you’ve ever considered volunteering and giving back to your local community, you can find out how to be involved on their facebook page.

Another exciting scheme comes to town this month in the form of the Trovr reverse vending machines, aimed at encouraging recycling for rewards, which Love Newmarket BID is proud to support. There are two machines in Newmarket- on at the front of the Guineas Shopping Centre and another in the Leisure Centre. Simply deposit your empty drinks bottles and cans, and you can earn rewards to use in local retailers or for online offers via an easy to use app. Simply search for trovr in your app store and start getting rewarded for being green today.

You can also up your green credentials by collecting a bag of used coffee grounds and using them as a natural fertiliser for your garden. Pick up a bag today from one of the following locations: Waitrose, The Pantry, Victor Victoria, The Racing Centre, The Orangery, Graze Kitchen, The Bakery, The Tack Room. Your garden will thank you!
