RECYCLING WITH THE TROJAN MICE
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our recycling drive. In the last few months we have collected an astonishing amount of blister packs, along with pens and markers, light bulbs, batteries and ink cartridges.
Our aim is to provide an easily accessible drop-off point for these items, which are not generally collected by your local council for recycling. We will also be having occasional collections of other recyclables such as spectacles in July on behalf of Lincoln Lions Club and water filters.
Also, we collect unused toiletries. This initiative is on behalf of u3a member Paul Lock , who collects and delivers them to the abdominal surgery ward at Lincoln County Hospital. The items are then distributed to patients with limited access to personal care items. Items such as soap, deodorant, shower gel, shampoo and lotion would all be gratefully received. We just need the items to be unused and unopened. Something as simple as access to toiletries can make a world of difference for a patient, bringing a little comfort and dignity to those who need it most.
The recycling point is available at every monthly Lindsey u3a meeting in Welton Village Hall, adjacent to the registration desk, so don’t forget to bring along your donations! In addition, we can arrange to collect items from members who either cannot attend the meeting or are unable to carry bulky bags.
Please get in touch with Julie Guest at jguest343@gmail.com with any ideas for other items we could recycle or to arrange a collection.

UNA AWARD PRESENTATION
