Welcome to the RACE Website

Thank you for visiting the RACE Website.

We are a registered charity based in Ringwood, Hampshire, with the aim of bringing people from the Ringwood area together to take actions that help the environment, biodiversity, and climate change.

We provide opportunities for people to take actions locally to reduce waste, learn new skills and combat climate change. So far we have

  • Encouraged the planting of over 50,000 trees since 2020
  • Saved over 74 tonnes of food from waste since May 2021
  • Run 3 Ringwood ECO Fairs

Lots of opportunities to get involved on the run up to Christmas

Visit us at Ringwood Winter Wanderland on Sunday 26th November. Our stall provides reusable wrapping solutions and gifts made from repurposed fabric. Come along and have a chat about how you might upcycle items On 30th November we will be running a Children's Christmas Crafting session on the Top Floor of Boston Tea Party - no charge and free hot chocolate for the children. From 2pm to 6pm
