🌍 Love Our Planet Week is coming! (19–25 October 2026) 💚

At Shared Space, we`re using this week to focus on how we can all show a little extra care for our environment and make a real difference in our day-to-day lives.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing practical tips, simple eco-swaps, and helpful hints on how small actions like repairing clothes, reducing waste, and choosing sustainable habits can add up to big change.

We’ve got a fantastic lineup of in-store events, workshops, and drop-in sessions coming up at both our Southchurch and Westcliff shops. Keep an eye out. F #EcoWeek #greenplanet #sharedspaceshops #loveourplanet #charityevents #GreenLiving #ecofriendly ull event details, timings, and host announcements are coming very soon!

Mark your calendars for 19–25 October, and let’s work together to love our planet. 🌱✨
