The Make A Difference Awards celebrate those who make life better for others in our communities.
In September, we get into our Sunday Best and attend this special awards ceremony which shine a light on unsung heroes.
We are speechless and extremely humbled to have been nominated never mind being a finalist - we could not do what we do without out dedicated volunteers whom we dedicate all the recognition to.
Collaborating with The Friends of Wellhome, this May, we blended Zombie Awareness Month (yes, it's really a thing!), with litter awareness and horror film genre.
A campaign following on from The Great British Spring Clean and celebrating the upcoming release of '28 Years Later' this June (sequel to the film series 28 days later and 28 weeks later, by director Danny Boyle).
Litter is an ongoing challenge and Keep Britain Tidy's recent report 'A rubbish reality' indicates the situation is getting worse, with over 90% of places surveyed across England blighted by litter.
Another reality... Litter is dropped by people!
We often find litter dating back decade's, scarily in tact with little to no signs of deterioration... remember our 80's crisp packet find or our 90's Mcdonalds styrofoam McChicken sandwich box?
With zombies and litter decomposition both being about rot and decay, the metaphor is scarily perfect. We have therefore adopted the tagline:
'Time doesn't rot everything'

Astounded when we received a personalised letter from Kim Leadbetter on a Houses of Parliament letterhead. Kim wanted to congratulate us for our efforts in Conservation and community engagement.
There will be more collaboration with Kim in the future with lots of things going on in the background.
