News / The Refillable Van comes to Ramsgate
Radford House is a new community hub in Ramsgate, currently open for use prior to its renovation by owners Ramsgate Town Council. The aim is to be responsive to the interests and needs of local people, with the old fire engine hall available for activities and events, as well as two floors of workspaces and a teaching space in this popular historic building. Radford House is in Effingham Street just off Ramsgate town centre.
For two days a month The Refillable Van is coming to town. The vehicle will drive into the fire engine hall, so whether it’s wet or sunny, it’s possible to enjoy a visit to this fantastic resource, run by Sue and Ian Bates. The Refillable Van is an independent family business wanting to make environmentally friendly, zero-waste shopping something easy and accessible to everyone.
Starting on Monday 9 October then on 30 October from 11am – 2pm, the Van will be at Radford House on the 2nd and last Monday each month.
The Van is all about making it easier to shop without plastic by refilling containers, and to use more environmentally-friendly products. Sue and Ian work with small, local producers and only with UK-based suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of shopping. The Van has a fantastic range of supplies on board, so we encourage you to pop along and have a look!
We are really delighted to welcome The Refillable Van to Ramsgate and hope everyone will support this great local business.
