Partnership working comes in various forms and the Pioneering Care Partnership (PCP) recently supported Shaw Trust. Shaw Trust is a leading employment charity, who provide education and training for those starting out and those looking to progress in their jobs.
Gayle Goldsmith, Project Development Manager said: "As PCP's hydrotherapy pool renovation nears the end, we identified a large number of wooden pallets, that would need to be disposed of. Environmentally, PCP's waste hierarchy encourages us to either 'prevent, re-use, recycle, recover' before we move to disposing of waste. By connecting with Shaw Trust, PCP has enabled these to be reused/recycled."
Shaw Trust Enterprises, Seaham Garden Centre will be repurposing these pallets by making kindling and other useful items that can be used to generate funds at their five acre horticultural site, which works with adults with learning disabilities from across County Durham.
These funds will support the team to grow more produce at their Seaham Garden Centre, (SR7 7UR). This produce will be sold to raise funds enabling them to continue to support their activities.
A huge thank you to Shaw Trust for taking the pallets that will be repurposed in an environmentally friendly way, to find out more about Shaw Trust you can visit their website by clicking here.
