Leading outdoors retailers, Blacks and Millets have introduced 100% recyclable paper carrier bags across stores nationwide in a bid to become more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

The businesses have removed 1 million plastic bags from circulation across Blacks and Millets’ 150 stores, including Freshney Place and are collectively recycling them in a sustainable way to reduce the impact on the environment. The bags are made from sustainable materials which can simply be recycled in domestic paper bins.

Keep an eye out for the new recyclable paper carrier bags the next time you visit Freshney Place!

Youngsters around Grimsby were invited to attend a free artistic crafting event at Freshney Place on Saturday 30th of March, between 11am and 3pm in the Market Square, near Starbucks.

Children were able to use their imagination as they personalised a terracotta plant pot with stickers and felt tips to create a meaningful message for their mum. They could even show off their expressive skills by drawing her favourite flowers, adding her name and more… the possibilities were endless!

The free crafting event blossomed into a nature loving activity as the youngsters were able to pot their own plant in their wonderful DIY creation; something really special to gift to their mums this Mother’s Day.

Thank you so much to everyone who attended the event! It was great to see the children come along and express themselves through arts and crafts.

Freshney Place is taking part in a spectacle collection to support less advantaged communities in Africa. The collection, which is in partnership with The Rotary Club of Cleethorpes, is inviting people to bring any old, unwanted spectacles.

The glasses are cleaned, repaired (where possible) and graded, then packed up by Ruth Perrot – a fellow (York) Rotarian and optician who travels to communities in the Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Tanzania and Senegal annually to dispense spectacles collected from our area.

Ruth organises clinics dispensing over 200 pairs of spectacles per day to people who cannot afford to buy a pair for themselves.  These include parents, children, teachers and anyone else who needs improved vision to cope with work and family life.
