🐝🐞 Create a bug hotel to help improve your neighbourhood’s biodiversity and support pollinators!

They’re a simple September activity and can be easily created with everyday items and natural things! Here’s how to create one step by step:

1: Gather your materials – we like wood, pinecones, bamboo, twigs, and containers like tins or plastic bottles.

2: Look for a dry, off the ground, sheltered spot to place your bug hotel - ideally near plants and flowers.

3: Create hiding places inside your containers using the materials you have gathered.

4: Pack the materials in tightly, but leave lots of small gaps and tunnels that bugs can shelter in.

5: That’s it! Soon you will have your very own bug hotel 🐛

What will we be discussing with the government in the months ahead?

We’ll be building on the healthy engagement the Social, Cooperative and Community Economy All-Party Parliamentary Group saw in the first half of this year.

In the months ahead and into 2027, the APPG will be meeting about the following:

1️⃣ How community energy social enterprises can help the government achieve net zero and Great British Energy's ambitions.

2️⃣ Further making the case for the kind of social care provision that puts people (rather than profit) first.

3️⃣ How the many social enterprises successfully offering the next generation training and job opportunities can be better supported.

4️⃣ Demonstrating that community asset ownership is a proven, scalable driver of local economic renewal.

SEUK members working in these areas are being invited to these meetings to give evidence and discuss obstacles. If you’re interested in helping to shape policy, SEUK membership can help get your voice heard!
