Dear Residents,
In preparation for the Rutland County Council “Waste Less Recycle More Campaign” for the new dedicated food waste collection commencing March 2026, we have been given a “Waste Engagement Member Toolkit” which we would like to share with you. It contains valuable information and links which you might find useful.

The Parish Councillors
The next collection date is October 15th from the church porch.
Since April of this year the Oakham based charity has received over 200 referrals and continues to need our support.
Items requested are for packed lunches, cereal bars, small jars of coffee, tinned meat and pies, microwaveable rice sachets, porridge sachets, shaving gel and deodorant.
The charity has just celebrated its 15th birthday and continues its good work.
Let’s help them continue to “talk pants” – donations of gently worn bras and new (still in packaging with labels) pants to Debra Thatcher at 3 Main Street by 15th October.
The next monthly walk will be held on Saturday, 11th October.
We will meet at 10:00 am in the church porch. Let’s car share to Uppingham Arboretum to enjoy the sights of autumn followed by light refreshments.
Please let Debra Thatcher know if you will attend.

Hi All,
We have fresh lamb this time. It is not too late to order a specific cut or size of joint, but please let me know by 12 noon on Thursday so I can ask our artisan butcher to prepare it for you. There will be Sourdough although a limited amount and there may be other items and baking but will let you know.
As always, any questions or requests please do let me know.
With best wishes from Castle Chase
Kind Regards
