At Lucton House Care Home, we’re always looking for ways to make a positive difference, not only within our home, but across our local community too. That’s why we’re delighted to have become one of the newest collection partners for We Can Community CIC, helping to turn everyday recycling into meaningful support for local families.
The idea is wonderfully simple. Every empty drinks can collected is recycled, with the money raised helping We Can Community provide practical support for local food banks, families and community projects across Birmingham and Solihull. One can may not seem like much on its own, but together they can have a real impact.
Our involvement has been driven by our Home Administrator, Kirsty, who first came across We Can Community CIC almost three years ago after discovering the inspiring story of Ryan Hulance and his mum, Karima. What started as one family’s idea to collect aluminium cans and raise money for local food banks has grown into a community initiative supported by schools, businesses, care homes and volunteers across the region.
Inspired by their work, our incredible Home Administrator, Kirsty, began collecting cans herself and has since become so passionate about the project that she has recently accepted the role of a non executive director (Volunteer Director), helping to support the charity’s administration and future fundraising.
Naturally, we wanted Lucton House to be part of that journey too.
Our wonderful residents and team members are now collecting their empty cans, knowing that something usually thrown away can instead help support people in our local community while reducing waste at the same time. It’s a small change that everyone can get involved with, and one that reflects our belief that even the simplest actions can make a difference.
At Lucton House, we love supporting local initiatives that bring people together. Whether we’re working alongside community groups, taking part in fundraising or getting involved in environmental projects, we’re proud to play our part and encourage our residents to be involved in causes that matter.
We’re excited to be working alongside the fantastic team at We Can Community and look forward to seeing how many cans we can collect together!
If anyone is driving by and has any empty cans that they wish to donate, please do swing by and drop them off or for more information, you can contact Kirsty on LuctonHouse@goldcarehomes.com.
