We were thrilled to supply trophies for the 2025 #ManchesterSportsAwards - the annual event celebrates local athletes, coaches & clubs. By asking us to make these reclaimed wood trophies, MCRActive, celebrated the importance of sustainability and investing in our social enterprise too. Thank you!

🌳It’s #NationalTreeWeek this week and this 👇 is why it’s so important that we rescue and reclaim waste wood rather than sending it to incineration where that carbon gets released back into the atmosphere.

Give us a call to give your waste wood a new lease of life & save trees! 📞 0161 223 8200

We heard recently that we’ve been granted £5000 to improve the outside space at our HQ from the #TRUCommunityFund. Recently, we hosted a visit from @thetrupgrade.bsky.social who came to see the area that'll be improved. We'll be building raised beds for fruit and veg & bird boxes for the garden.
