offer a helping hand to refugees Stroll into winter! Every year, Hippychick extends a helping hand to those most in need at Christmas. Last year the company donated several toys via the Salvation Army’s Christmas Present Appeal in Bridgwater as well as through the Children’s Social Care team in Sedgemoor, Somerset. This year, the company is turning its focus to refugee families in Bath & North East Somerset through Julian House in Bath, a charitable organisation which supports vulnerable and at-risk individuals as well as offering a refugee resettlement service. Julia Minchin, Founder and Managing Director at Hippychick is delighted to be able to help commenting: “I, along with the rest of the world, was so deeply affected by the recent events in Afghanistan and the desperate scenes of people trying to flee the country. These are small beginnings but we hope to be able to continue to work with Julian House and extend our gift donations to more families in the coming months as they settle here in the UK.” Hippychick has put together selection of gifts for the children in each family ensuring that each is age appropriate and that they offer an educational dimension, designed to nurture healthy development in young children. Hippychick is also supplying essential baby equipment to three pregnant parents within the families.

Recycled Child Car Seat Christmas Tree
Created by JMDA At this year’s Worcester Cathedral Christmas Tree Festival 2021, JMDA Design highlights the ongoing challenges of child car seat recycling, as part of their KOOL recycling campaign. Since 2017, JMDA Design, based in Pershore, Worcestershire has been spearheading and leading the conversation to find a long-term solution for the recycling of child car seats. The issues surrounding recycling child car seats are multifaceted due to their solid and mixed materials structure, but the main challenge is the logistics to collect and deliver car seats to the waste management facilities.
