January 2025
Hope everyone had a brilliant festive period and managed to get some well deserved rest and is looking forward to what 2025 has in store for us.
It was so good to see so many of you at the AGM last year. Our Green Plan can be found here if anyone wants to have a look.
Since the 12 month review of our Green Plan, we have had a 12 month review with all the ambassadors at the end of 2024 and their respective PLT supporters. It was agreed by all the ambassadors that they would like to continue with the work they are doing for another term but would like a co-ambassador each to join their teams this year.
We have conducted an audit at Elmhurst and Woodbury in partnership with Green Economy to devise a carbon reduction plan for the services. We will discuss the findings with the service managers soon to see what we can take from the report.
Last year I was invited to join the Supported Living managers committee meeting. Lots of great conversations and suggestions were brought forward. I have purchased some composters and rain water butts for Supported Living Services.
It was good to see people we supported getting involved in contributing to the cause. One common thing most services brought forward was their enthusiasm for growing indoor plants. So I have done some research and grown a few of my own indoor plans to write a guide for having indoor plants that will help everyone. Click here to read all about it and here for a printable poster.
As always, please get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions - carmen.gillonweerasinghe@personasupport.org
