Lights, camera, action! 🍿 Capturing the recent Tai ar y Cyd launch in Swansea, in all its glory. 🏠 🌳 🚀

Goodbye to the 94 days in January! We made it back to the office after the Christmas break (but not ready to give up cheese….), launched a new campaign for sustainable homes in Wales, welcomed new projects and wrote a whole lot of content!

Sustainable Business, Sustainable Planet 🌍 Today we served as headline sponsors at the #SEWBCC Sustainble Business, Sustainable Planet event, where we also hosted an inspiring B Corp panel discussion. Taking action and embracing frameworks like B Lab UK, along with impactful Acts from The Office of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales are guiding businesses in our region to thrive whilst keeping environmental and social impacts front of mind for today and tomorrow.

A vision for sustainable living in Wales Imagine a future in Wales where homes are not just affordable, but actively contribute to a greener, more sustainable world. That future is becoming a reality through the launch of Tai ar y Cyd. This groundbreaking initiative brings together 23 social landlords across Wales to create a timber-based pattern book for sustainable, affordable homes. The innovative "seedling to shelter" approach connects every home - and the people living in them - to the land that provides their materials. The project is set to: - Drastically reduce both operational and embodied carbon emissions. - Support local industries with responsibly sourced materials. - Create greener jobs that boost the Welsh economy. Millrace | B Corp™ has played a key role in shaping the future position of this transformative project by developing the communication and branding. Led by the richness of the Welsh language, we curated the project name, crafted strategic core messages for stakeholders, and brought the vision to life through the brand development, website, and marketing materials. Together, we've positioned Wales as a pioneer in sustainable, affordable housing - one home at a time.  🌱 🌳 🌲 🌱 🏡 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 

"This is about all the people across Wales who don't just need sustainable houses, but who desperately need safe new homes" What a huge privilege it was to be at the launch of the Tai ar y Cyd initiative today. Led by Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, Woodknowledge Wales, 11 Local Authorities and with 12 partners from the housing association sector in Wales it is a really exciting platform set up to drive decarbonised new build affordable homes in Wales. I am so proud of the role my teammates at Millrace | B Corp™ have played in helping bring this to life over the past few months - it was spine-tinglingly (if that's not a word I'm claiming it) good to see the teams design work, animation, website and all the brand collateral on full display today - Anna Jarvis you’ve got to be so thrilled! Wonderful to see so many inspirational leaders in one place and to hear and see community and housing champions united together. I always love talking to people and today was definitely no exception. Fantastic to see comms heroes Claire Conway & Lauren Williams in person. Loved catching up with Jen Heal, Catherine Evans, Jon Hurley et al. Highlight? A day working alongside Carys Bryant & Nicola Lewis! Very much looking forward to seeing this whole project flourish in the coming months and years! Thank you Steve Cranston et al for this wonderful opportunity to be a part of something bigger and better!
