We’d like to say a big thank you to local company Morley Glass for an extremely generous gift towards supporting families in Leeds. Morley Glass have come up with a fantastic sustainable solution to the waste glass from old windows. Rather than it sitting in landfill forever, they have invested in a machine called CRUSH which, as the name suggests crushes the glass and enables it to be recycled to make new window panes (check out https://www.morleyglass.co.uk/glass-recycling-leeds/). What’s more, they decided to give the extra money this makes to local initiatives and charities. It’s both a brilliant green initiative and amazingly generous. Thank you Morley Glass for a crushingly kind gift!
Earlier this month we had the privilege of hosting the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament for Leeds West and Pudsey, Rachel Reeves, at a showcase of the work we do to empower families.
“You saved Christmas for us,” Gemima said as we handed over four gift-packed stockings for her kids and three large bags of food.
We were thrilled and honoured to receive this prestigious award as part of HM The King’s Birthday Honours in November last year.
