Community Partnerships Making a Difference for a Greener Bexley
At Cory, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s our mission. Through partnerships with inspiring local organisations, we’re helping the Bexley community take steps towards a more eco-conscious lifestyle. Whether it’s reducing waste, reusing resources, or learning valuable life skills, these collaborations show our community, young or old, how to live more sustainably.
Helping Families Go Green
The Washable Nappy Company
Switching to reusable nappies is one of the simplest ways families can cut down on household waste. The Washable Nappy Company provides expert guidance, friendly advice, and a wide selection of products to help parents make the switch with confidence. They offer local families hands-on support in embracing low-waste parenting solutions.
Real Nappies for London
To make sustainable choices even more accessible, Bexley residents can apply for a free £50 reusable nappy voucher through the Real Nappies for London scheme. This partnership ensures that every family, regardless of income, can afford to start their reusable journey. Find out more and apply at realnappiesforlondon.org.uk.
Skills That Last a Lifetime
Nicola Corrigan Textile Classes
Sustainable living also means valuing the things we own. Textile designer Nicola Corrigan runs sewing and repair workshops to help residents extend the life of their clothes and textiles. Her classes are a fun, practical way to reduce textile waste while learning new skills. Whether you’re patching jeans or crafting a tote bag, you’ll walk away feeling inspired to make more and waste less.
First Aid Training and Supplies (Help Save Lives)
While it might not sound traditionally “eco”, building a resilient, well-informed community is a vital part of sustainable living. Help Save Lives offers essential first aid training and supplies—empowering people to care for one another, act confidently in emergencies, and reduce dependency on single-use medical products when it’s safe to do so.
Inspiring the Next Generation
We believe that education is the root of lasting change. That’s why we’re opening our Energy from Waste site in Belvedere to school groups throughout 2025. These hands-on tours give students the chance to see what really happens to their general waste—and how energy can be recovered from it.
These partnerships reflect our shared goal: making sustainability more accessible, practical, and community-driven. From nappies to knowledge, sewing to site visits, we're proud to support the people of Bexley on their journey to greener living.
