Share Shop

A Share shop opened up in Chester a little while ago, where you can drop off goods, or buy cake or coffee, including a 'pay it forward' coffee which a homeless person can claim. Opened officially by our local MP and the Town Crier, you can see more about the opening here: http://www.chesterchronicle.co.uk/news/business/share-shop-chester-opens-northgate-10748520

Chester Cathedral in Lego

Trying to raise money, Chester Cathedral has hit upon the novel idea of recreating itself in Lego, with visitors to the Cathedral paying £1 for each brick that they add. They have been going since Easter 2015, and have currently reached the 75,000 brick mark. Ultimately there will be 330,000 bricks.

Pop Up Pay As You Feel Cafe

Over at the Lache Community Centre there is a pop-up cafe, which takes food waste from supermarkets and feeds it to people in the form of yummy meals. You pay what you feel the meal was worth, in either cash or by exchanging skills or time. They are operating on Sundays from 12-3pm.
