Sir Ralph Perring Centre

let’s reduce waste!

The City of London, together with local residents, the Barbican Library, and design researchers Stby, are exploring the creation of a Library of Things: an easy, affordable way to access tools and equipment rather than buying new.

This is part of a wider effort to help the community save money, improve recycling, reduce waste, and strengthen local resource sharing, in partnership with the Barbican Library. Whether it’s confusion about what can be recycled or not having the right tools to repair everyday items, the workshops will offer an opportunity to hear about the experiences of residents.

Stby are hosting four workshops in total, at Golden Lane Estate, Middlesex Street, Mansell Street, and the Barbican. If you’re a resident of any of these four estates, you are welcome to attend any session.

• 7 January 7:30-9pm – Sir Ralph Perring Centre
• 13 January 5:30-7pm – Portsoken Community Centre
• 19 January 5:30-7pm – Artizan Street Library
• 27 January 5:30-7pm – Barbican Library
