❄️ Don't Face Winter Alone

🏠 Last year, we supported more than 400 households and provided almost 900 items to help residents stay safe and warm at home.

💙 If you, a family member, friend or neighbour could benefit from support, please get in touch.

♻️ It's Recycle Week! ♻️

Did you know the LRCs across the Group collect a range of items for recycling and reuse, including batteries, medication blister packs, bras, crisp packets and used stamps?

Every item recycled helps to reduce waste, support charitable initiatives and prevent more materials from ending up in landfill. From a used battery to the packet from your lunchtime crisps, every contribution makes a difference.

💚 Small actions really do add up. Check with your local LRC to find out what items can be recycled at your site and help us make an even bigger impact together.
