Easter is all about fresh starts, family time, and a bit of chocolate, but it can also create a lot of unnecessary waste if we are not careful. The good news is that it’s easy to celebrate in a more planet-friendly way with just a few small changes. Choose better treats Look for chocolate with less packaging or from ethical brands. You could even try making your own, it is fun, and much less wasteful. Ditch the plastic Swap out plastic decorations for things like painted eggs, flowers, or homemade crafts. They look better and can be reused year after year or compost. Rethink egg hunts Instead of plastic eggs, use reusable ones or decorate real eggs. You could even turn it into a little outdoor adventure. Keep food simple Plan your meals so nothing goes to waste, and try using local, seasonal ingredients where you can. Give thoughtful gifts Skip the plastic-heavy presents. A plant, homemade treat, or even just spending time together can mean a lot more. Recycle Make sure to properly separate and recycle the waste, with the new foodwaste bins, nothing should be going to general waste this Easter. At the end of the day, Easter is about enjoying time together, and keeping things simple and sustainable just makes it even better.

Southwater Parish Council is proud to support a talented group of young, local dancers from the community, awarding £200 from the Chairman’s Discretionary Fund to assist them on their journey to the prestigious Dance World Cup Finals 2026 in Dublin . The funding has been awarded to support members of KDF Academy of Dance , a well-established dance school based in Southwater and Horsham. Notably, six of the dancers selected for the international competition are from Southwater , alongside two of the key figures behind the academy, principle Kayleigh and her sister Jo, who both will be accompanying the team. A Local Team with International Talent The competition team includes 14 dancers aged 11–23, with strong local representation, including six from Southwater. After months of dedication, they have qualified four group routines to represent Team England at the Dance World Cup Finals. KDF Academy, established in 2013 , supports dancers from early years, and provides a wide range of performance opportunities, helping young people build confidence and skills. Fundraising for a Global Stage The team wishes to compete is entirely self-funded and is working to raise £25,000 to cover essential costs such as travel, accommodation, entry fees, costumes, and official Team England kit for the 14 girls. Families and supporters are actively fundraising and seeking sponsorship to make this opportunity possible.
