Healthy Options

At the council we had the option for a staff health MOT. On the back of this we started a staff walk every Thursday lunchtime to help encourage each other to stretch our legs to maintain both our physical and mental wellbeing. 

We had great fun spotting wildlife and nature within the city, and it gave staff a positive boost for the rest of the day!

We also completed a bi-weekly recycling walk. Plastic wallets are a big issue in the archiving service where new accessions comes in, enclosed in a pocket of plastic. As the world is quickly digitising, the second hand demand for the product is low, consequently they have been burdensomely piling up in the office. Until now!!

Here is one of our archivists depositing the plastic wallets to be recycled. 

Folders and plastic wallets are also being offered for reuse at the Heritage Hub Reception. You can read more about this in the Waste Management section.
