Tree Planting Initiatives

During ESG Week (16th–20th February 2026), our care homes have been getting involved in making a positive impact on the environment by including the people who live in our homes to get involved in tree planting initiatives, helping to bring a hands-on approach to sustainability while enjoying meaningful activities together.
