A huge thank you to the team from HSBC plus our lovely volunteer Cliff for coming to help out with some much needed gardening at the Mattioli Centre! The garden is in a MUCH better state thanks to all of them 🌿🌸

Thank you so much to the Sustainability Team at Loughborough University for letting us come in and pick through the items left behind by students 📦 So many of the items left behind are unused or still in great condition, so it's amazing that the uni have found a way to give them a second life. This is the third year in a row that they have invited us to this event, and we leave with a fantastic haul every time! 🛒

As part of our Climate Action Programme, residents took part in an introductory sewing and clothing repair workshop, learning practical skills that help extend the lives of everyday clothing. 🪡
During the session, residents learnt three essential hand-stitching techniques: running stitch, blanket stitch and back stitch. They also practised sewing buttons back onto garments and learnt simple repair techniques that can be used to fix small tears.
These everyday skills not only save money but also help reduce clothing waste by encouraging us to repair, maintain and reuse items instead of replacing them.
This session marks the beginning of our sewing programme, where residents will continue building confidence by mending, upcycling and participating in creative textile projects. Through this programme, we hope they will develop skills that they can carry with them long after leaving One Roof Leicester.
These sessions are part of the LEAF programme, made possible by our partnership with Dmusdghub and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund's Climate Action Fund 🍀

The team had a very clumsy day in the office and all ended up with some absolutely terrible injuries!! Thankfully, Jules from Falcon Support Services was around to deliver some top notch first aid training and we were able to get everyone nicely patched up 💙😉

This week our residents got hands-on in the kitchen learning how to make affordable, healthy and sustainable meals using basic equipment and simple techniques.
On the menu: Baba Ganoush with flatbread, couscous with vegetables and chickpeas, and a fresh fruit yoghurt bowl. The meals were plant-based, protein-rich and prove that eating well doesn't have to cost the earth.
Residents learnt about meal prepping, batch cooking and how to use leftovers creatively - skills that reduce food waste and stretch your budget further. Because the food we throw away doesn't just cost money, it costs our planet.
Small changes in the kitchen can have a big impact on both our wallets and the planet.

Games Day! The goal here was to go over lessons from previous LEAF sessions, and reflect on how individual actions affect the climate globally.

Snakes and ladders - the ladders represent positive climate actions and the snakes represent negative actions. Take turns playing, the first player to reach 100 wins!

Charades - write down climate action related words and phrases, then take turns acting them out. You can play in teams or individually. Each correct answer: +10 points 🌟

Jenga - the jenga tower represents the ecosystem, whilst each block represents a positive or negative change. Take turns removing blocks, and check what is written on the bottom each time. Positive blocks (e.g. clean rivers):+5 points, negative blocks (e.g. air pollution): -5 points, knocking down the whole ecosystem: -10 points 😬

These sessions are part of the LEAF programme, made possible by our partnership with Dmusdghub and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund 🍀
