  • Leeds by Example Second Impact Report - December 2019
    Leeds By Example Second Impact Report - December 2019 1 2 Executive summary We consume more food and drink ‘on-the-go’ in the UK than ever before, getting through thirteen billion plastic bottles, nine billion cans and almost three billion coffee cups each year. Yet the much-needed recycling infrastructure for all this packaging used and discarded on our streets has not kept up with demand. Only two out of every five local authorities offer recycling on-the-go (which is defined as recycling outside of the home). The material collected by those that do is often too poor quality to be recycled. Local authorities need support to create behaviour change through infrastructure and communications that encourage the public to use on-the-go recycling bins effectively. Hubbub and Ecosurety decided to test different approaches to recycling on-the-go and develop a high-profile, multi-stakeholder campaign that aimed to find scalable solutions to the problem. Hubbub secured funding, identified Leeds as a suitable city and undertook the development and project management of the campaign. Leeds By Example was launched in October 2018, and the first phase ran for six months. The second phase ran until the end of September 2019, giving robust insights from a 12-month trial. This report summarises results from the full 12 months. Brands, manufacturers and retailers came on board as funding partners, and a range of local partners agreed to collaborate, including Leeds City Council. The aim was to introduce new recycling infrastructure across Leeds City Centre, backed up by a high-profile communications campaign and a strong, recognisable campaign brand.

    2017/18– Issue 1 A night of cheers and tears as Yorkshire’s October 2017 bravest young people are saluted On Friday 13th October, hundreds of people packed into Leeds’s New Dock Hall for the seventh annual Yorkshire Children of Courage Awards. Attendees included famous names such as Leeds United legend Eddie Gray, Paralympic wheelchair athlete Hannah Cockroft, Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson and former Huddersfield Giants rugby league player Eorl Crabtree. But there was no doubt as to the real stars of the show – the award recipients themselves, 10 children who have faced up to daunting challenges with- out fear or expectation of favour. Winners including St John’s school for the Deaf pupil, Finn Knaggs, who was given a special recognition prize in the event’s 13 to 18 age category. Finn was left with profound sensory neural hearing loss and complex epilepsy after contracting pneumococcal meningitis at seven months old. But he refuses to let his disabilities hold him back and has flourished through his love of football, table tennis and sporting competitions organised by the Panathlon Challenge charity. The teenager’s mother Kim said: “When Finn was ill as a baby the doctors told me his body was essentially shutting down and there wasn’t much hope. The experts later said they weren’t sure whether he would be able to walk. If only they could see him now, either at Panathlon competitions or booting a ball over the fence into our neighbour’s garden 10 times a day!” Friday night’s event was organised by St James’s Place Wealth Management and raised money for the company’s Charitable Foundation.
