Three awareness campaigns land on Somerset doorsteps in the same seven days

Residents across Somerset and neighbouring areas are being asked to think about recycling, gas safety and the arts all within the same week, as three separate campaigns run at once.

Recycle Week, a national campaign running from 14 to 20 September, is being supported by both Somerset Council and Tewkesbury Borough Council [6][7].

At the same time, housing association Curo is marking Gas Safety Week 2026, also running from 14 to 20 September, under the theme "Take No Chances" [8]. Curo said it carries out annual gas safety checks in homes with gas appliances and reminded customers to check engineers are Gas Safe registered before allowing work [8].

A third strand of community activity begins before the week is out: Somerset Art Works says the Somerset Art Weeks Festival returns from 19 September to 4 October 2026, themed "Cultural Connections" [5].
