BASW being true to its elitist self. I work alongside a Support Worker colleague who actually has far more intimate contact with users of services than I do. Why is my safety more important than theirs? Stop trying to divide us. Leanne May 5, 2021 at 1:27 pm #

Dozens of familiar high street retail units across England and Wales, including Homebase, River Island and William Hill have been converted into climate emergency centres – community hubs “for the benefit of people and planet” – after changes in shopping habits or the Covid pandemic left them sitting empty.
As hundreds of councils declare a climate emergency, owners of vacant premises have the option to reduce their business rates payments by up to 100% through leasing the property for community benefit to a not-for-profit or charitable organisation, such as a climate emergency centre (CEC).
The sustainable centres are run by communities themselves and offer a range of activities that focus on both addressing the climate emergency and bringing people together, from hedgehog protectors to church groups. They include art exhibitions, exercise classes, sustainable living workshops, bike repair facilities and vegetarian and vegan cafes
