To mark two years in business, I have set myself a challenge.
I’m embarking upon a “Sponsored Slim” to lose at least two stone before May 15th when I’ll be taking part in a 6km “Nuclear Rush” obstacle course at the Secret Nuclear Bunker estate in Brentwood, Essex. Yes, seriously. Lots of mud and over 35 obstacles. I’ve got a lot of getting in shape to do! Whilst shedding some lbs, I am hoping to raise some ££££s for Timebank as Millrose Telecom is an active corporate member.

Timebanking is a national community initiative. With timebanking, people help each other by exchanging ideas, knowledge or practical help with one another e.g. gardening, errands, decorating, IT skills or CV writing etc. Timebank also organise community projects such as litterpicks, community events and group skills training. Millrose Telecom has taken part in litterpicks, children’s fun days, police community open days, putting up nest boxes & gardening for the elderly.

The money raised will go towards community projects in 2016

Health and safety equipment for litterpicks and other community projects, running community events including Fun Days at Children's Centres, room hire and refreshments for coffee mornings to combat social isolation,marketing materials to promote Timebanking and recruit members,promoting and championing recycling in the local area,increasing volunteering opportunities for young people,fuel/coach hire for community outings (e.g. to seaside) for those who may not otherwise get the opportunity.
