East Lancashire NHS Trust saves over £391,000 and cuts waste with Warp It

One part of your tool kit for culture change should be organisational announcements. In this article you can find links to all of our article templates to use in your organisation to help embed reuse. 

Changing culture is hard! Really hard! Before setting off you should develop a communication plan with your comms team. 

As part of the communication plan you should develop regular communications, especially in the first 12-18 months whilst embedding your reuse system into practice.

This collection of templates will help you to promote your furniture reuse program across your organisation. 

Here are some examples of the templates you can find:

• Reuse program launch template
• 'Look how well we are doing' template
• Building Clearance announcement

Why recording mini wins is the path to success!

Sometimes it feels like we are trying to swim in treacle. It all seems too difficult and it feels like we don't have the energy to get through the week. 

In this article I talk about one of the methods that keep me going, keep me happy and keeps me appreciative and persistant.

Read for yourself and see if this technique can help you find balance in your day to day life.

The advice is very simple- I write down my mini wins over the day. It might be just one. When i am feeling like I am in a bit of a dip, and making no progress, I look back over my mini wins for a booster!

You can download a template to help you keep track of your min wins and we are also giving a way a little book called "The Path of the Doer" below.

Why do we publish our customer happiness ratings publicly?

Warp It are pleased to welcome Smita Shetty from NHS West Lancashire Clinical Commissioning Group to discuss how the organisation is attempting business improvements using new digital technologies.

In this article we are going to explore:

We caught up with London Metropolitan University’s Pamela Rodrigues, a graduate intern working in the sustainability and environmental teams within the university. Pamela plans to go on to study her Master’s degree and work in Environmental Auditing, but right now she’s here to talk to us about her experience of working with Warp It within the university.

At the end of this article we also give you access to a free intern job description for your reuse program.

Every month we share a few things that we’ve spotted that inspire, amuse and entertain.

It's September 2017 and each month we want your opinion on various issues. 

In return we’ll compile a short report with the findings and share it with you to help you build your skills, knowledge and overall resilience.

What’s more, everyone who contributes will also be entered into a prize draw!

Each month we scour the web and our knowledge for tips, tricks and tools to help you tackle different challenges and become better! This month we point you to a great guide to build resilience in your kids...(actually it has worked quite well on me too) and we give you a run down of the best free video editing software.

Warp It are thankful to Clare Swift for giving us a few minutes to share some of her invaluable knowledge and talk about the impact of a really cool project she is a part of. As a decision-maker at North East Ambulance Service NHS, Clare was given the responsibility of finding ways to improve the environmental performance of their many sites in a way that did not negatively affect team members and would also provide cost savings.
