Katharine House Hospice’s Post

Caring is at the heart of everything we do at Katharine House, and that includes caring for the environment. 🌍 Our team of Sustainability Champions at the hospice have been introducing and trialling new ways we can all reduce our environmental impact. As well as taking part in No Mow May and swapping to some tasty Zero Waste Snacks in July to help cut plastic usage, we've just held our first Swap Shop at the hospice. 👚👖 Sustainability Champion Charlotte explained: "We know that the fashion industry accounts for 10% of global pollution so buying second hand is really important to us. The Swap Shop was a great opportunity to donate some pre-loved items and get something in return to spruce up our wardrobes! "We had over 130 items donated from staff, around 30 items swapped, and 22 items sold! Just from items donated by staff, we estimated that this has saved the equivalent of nearly 2 tonnes in CO2!" We'll be sharing more updates on the different ways we're being more sustainable and doing what we can to care for our planet as well as our patients. ❤️
