It’s a Canny Winter

We are launching a new campaign on Monday covering the colder winter months. Playing on my Geordie roots, we are asking people to donate to our “Canny Winter” scheme. All can will find a new home with us.

Do you have any spare food cans lurking and unloved in the back of you cupboard?

If the answer is yes then please donate them to the Hull Community Shop (HCS). We work with residents who are on a reduced income and can’t afford to buy or have access to healthy food. They sign up to be HCS Members and we provide them with affordable food. Contact Jan for more information.

Minibeast Den at Archbishop Sentamu Academy

EMS Staff as part of the Big Lottery funded Green Prosperity Project and pupils of Archbishop Sentamu Academy’s Eco Club have been working hard to build their very own minibeast den.

The aim of the den is to attract the habitation of invertebrates such as annelids (worms), molluscs (snails) and arthropods (spiders, centipedes, woodlice, beetles etc).   To encourage this the Eco Club used pallets and layers and filled them with soil, leaves, bark and moss.

Andy Steele from EMS Ltd said: “The day went very well with the pupils working extremely hard to ensure that the minbeasts had a fantastic new habitat and the finished product is credit to them.”
