Once a month, Choice Support staff and people we support meet to discuss new ideas for going green. These include tips and tricks on saving money and reusing materials, competitions that encourage people to get outside in the garden, and ways to make caring about the environment fun for the people we support.
All staff are invited to join, so if you have a green thumb, check out our jobs board here:
Our commitment to the environment
Choice Support care about our planet, and have been working to improve our carbon footprint and commitment to going green.
These are some of the things we are currently doing to show our commitment, and there is plenty more planned for the future.

Green roofs
Some of our new builds have 'green roofs'. These roofs have greenery on top which promotes insect activity in the garden, reduces risk of flooding and gutter clogging, and improves irrigation by slowing rainfall on the garden.
ISO Certifications
Choice Support have been granted the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) certificate for Environmental Management. This was awarded for our efficient use of resources, reduction of waste, and low carbon footprint.
