Discover how the City of Santa Cruz is reducing waste with a council-led, volunteer-powered party kit scheme.

When Joely Martin planned a low-waste party for her daughter, she discovered the power of party kits - and decided to start her own. With support from the Party Kit Network, Joely launched a kit in Northampton to help her community celebrate sustainably.

‘Pass The Party’ is a community-driven scheme launched by Party Kit Network member Ruth Watson. It helps make celebrations more accessible by covering the cost of borrowing reusable party kits for families who might otherwise struggle to afford a party. Supported by local donations, the scheme also includes decorations, virtual invitations, and eco-friendly party favours — helping more children enjoy a special birthday while reducing waste and strengthening community spirit.
