  • September 2017 Bulletin
    Working to improve the quality of life for disabled children, young people and their families in Derby City and Southern Derbyshire September 2017 Bulletin Summer Fun! We have been busy engaging in new areas of the community with our summer holiday events which we hope you will agree have been fantastic! Cookstars came along to our event in Sawley on 31st July, 27 children and young people attended. They cooked yummy pizza pies and rock buns, and had a great time whilst parents and carers chatted together and with our family support team. We also held an event in Ashbourne attended by Bugs ‘n’ Bones who brought along their fluffy, slimy and scaly creatures! All 21 children and young people enjoyed holding these interesting creatures and were excited to see them so close up! We then had themed crafts and made some of our own creatures! A great time was had by all! The holidays are nearly over. For some children/young people, this will be an exciting time of new beginnings. For others it will be an anxious time of change. Parents may have mixed emotions; gladness the holiday is over so that normal routines can resume, but sadness as little ones start school, or young adults move on to college. However you are feeling this September, come along to one of the Umbrella support groups, meet friends, have a chat, pick up information and enjoy a cuppa. For more information see the Family Support Groups on page 5 inside. What’s happening at Umbrella Adult Services This month the INDE group decided to hold their very own summer fair at Umbrella house.

  • News Release
    News release Drayton Manor Theme Park is the first UK family owned theme park to hit the magic…zero! It’s not often that nothing is celebrated, but when it comes to waste the award-winning Drayton Manor Theme Park loves to celebrate nothing, because this is exactly how much waste it sends to landfill, making it the first family owned theme park in the UK to achieve this. Over the past few years, Drayton Manor, near Tamworth, Staffordshire, has invested considerable resources into planning and implementing a wide range of environmentally friendly policies, which have all contributed to waste reduction. As a result of these policies, the park has officially reduced the total amount of waste it sends to the landfill! For example, around 50 tonnes of cardboard is crushed on-site and is taken away for recycling, instead of being taken to landfill. Additionally, all waste cooking oil is collected and turned into biofuel, which is then used to power the trucks that deliver the park’s food. This initiative has resulted in the park receiving a certificate of carbon saving for achieving annual CO2 savings of 26.85 tonnes within its supply chain by recycling the waste cooking oil via the Bidvest zero recycling scheme. Bidvest 3663 is a leading foodservice wholesale distributor and supply partner for more than 60,000 customers in the UK. The park’s other waste reduction initiatives include: ECO compactor used on-site for zoo waste, trees, cardboard, broken palates and general recyclable waste mulched for natural composting, which diverts thousands of tons from the landfill.
