Here at the Horninglow Clinic we are taking part in #NoMowMay2023 By not mowing for just one month we are able to help our pollinators at this turn of season. One month with some overgrown grass and wildflowers doesn't harm us, but it can help our wildlife significantly 🪻🐝

🌇Heat related deaths in the UK could be as high as 7,000 per year by 2050. Planting trees is one of the most effective way to counteract the impacts of heatwaves - and the NHS can do its part in this. Request your free trees now! nhsforest.org/green-your-sit… Why will you plant yours?

The MPFT's The older adult wards will be making decorations in their woodworking group, although wood can sometimes be difficult to clean if sealed with a paint or varnish this will allow cleaning to take place. @MatthewHocking2 @Carriebugmad @EllyBrown1

@infectioncontr4 with support from the Sustainability Champions came up with sustainable Christmas decorations ideas made from recycled/used materials: origami stars from old leaflets or magazines, 'Au naturel' such as cleaned pine cones, shells and small tree branches.
