Supported internship events for young people this autumn
A series of webinars and open events are taking place for young people, aged 16 to 24 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), to find out about Supported Internship opportunities.

Do you have old electrical items? Take them to one of our 10 household waste and recycling sites. Batteries, and anything with a plug or that needs charging can be recycled at one of our sites and, in some cases, can find a second life in one of our re-use shops. It can be dangerous if any of these items are placed in blue or green bins. When crushed in refuse lorries, they can ignite and cause a fire.
