This July, we’re supporting Plastic Free July—a global campaign that raises awareness of single-use plastic waste and encourages everyone to make small changes that can lead to a big impact. 

As part of the campaign, we’re inviting our customers to join us for a series of community litter-picking events taking place throughout July. It’s a simple but meaningful way to help protect the environment, meet your neighbours, and make a positive difference right where you live. 

Litter Picks: Come along and get involved—your time and energy can help keep our neighbourhoods clean and green. 
For more information and details on how to sign up, click HERE.

Calling all creative, planet-loving kids! 

We're also launching a children’s recycling poster competition, open to all young eco-warriors aged 5-7, 8-11, 12-14 and 15-18 years  

Enter our recycling poster competition

If you love to draw, colour, and care about the planet, this is your chance to shine! Create a fun, colourful poster that encourages people to: 

  • Reduce waste
  • Recycle more
  • Cut down on unnecessary single-use plastics
  • Protect the environment 

The best entry will win a prize, and even better—your poster will be displayed around our local communities to help spread your message far and wide! 

Deadline for entries: 31 July 2025 

 Send entries to: Sustainablefuture@platformhg.com 

 or post to Platform Housing Group, 1700 Solihull Pkwy, Solihull B37 7YD For the attention of Victoria Johnsen.  
 

Let’s get creative and help make a difference together! 

These activities are a great lead-in to our next Communities Connected fortnight, running from 8–19 September, with even more ways to volunteer, connect, and support your local area. Keep an eye out from 28 July when new opportunities will be shared. 

💚 Thank you for being part of something that helps us all build better communities.
