FUTURE ACTION BIGGLESWADE
Who are FAB?
FAB (Future Action Biggleswade) is a friendly group of local volunteers who care deeply about social and environmental justice. We’re passionate about helping people think a little more about the choices they make when shopping, and how those choices can support people, communities (both global and local) and the planet.
Our work encourages and supports:
• Fairtrade (we are proud to be a certified Fairtrade Community)
• Buying local
• Plastic Free Biggleswade
• Eco-education
We also work alongside other fantastic local groups with similar aims, including Biggleswade
Good Neighbours and Biggleswade Community Gardens.
For more information, please contact FAB's Chair, Neil Spencer, via fab@fabweb.org.uk or 07910 211824."
The volunteers meet regularly to plan our activities. The next meeting will be on Tuesday May 19 at Café Mocha and online on Zoom.
It will include our AGM.

LATEST NEWS JULY 2026
We held these events:
Great Little Green Fair at Biggleswade Library - Sat 6 June.
The event was successful with more people attending than might have been expected. The treasure hunt organised by the library had encouraged people to come upstairs and this meant that they then engaged with the stalls.
National Emergency Briefing film screening at The Bigg Theatre - Tuesday 23 June
A number of ideas were discussed concerning how the desire for action could be turned into action. It was decided that as quite a few people had sent their apologies, the ideas below that were suggested should be emailed out as a poll. People would also be asked to offer their time to take these actions forward.
o Litter picks in public spaces.
o Provide advice to the public regarding recycling, hosepipe ban, etc.
o Tackling the use of plastics - reducing use and promoting reuse.
o Promoting seasonal eating and growing vegetables at home.
o Using social media to motivate individuals to change.
