Green History
A few ways that our charity has tried to be more eco-friendly wherever possible over the years:
-
Purchased high quality toys and equipment designed to last
-
Re-use of recyclable materials in our arts and crafts activities
-
A good balance of vegetarian and plant based foods included on our menus
-
Conserving energy by turning off lighting and devices when not in use
-
Using water coolers to reduce plastic bottle use
-
Appointing a dedicated, trustee-led, sustainability subgroup to drive our sustainability work and provide good governance.
-
This group has been re-brand as 'ecO' to allow us to promote our work more easily.
