Movember Magic at Greencore Homes raises nearly £1,700! 🥸   This month, our incredible team has been on a mission to raise awareness and funds for men's health. Here's how we've been making a difference:   Our Mo Bros, James Pratt, Will Hayes MRTPI, Tasos Tzioufas, Ken Tsang, Alec Puleston, Guy Stevens, and Ashley Wighton, have been sporting some seriously impressive facial hair, turning heads and sparking conversations about men's mental health and wellbeing. The team, including our Mo Sistas Katie Rogers, Ness Scott, and Chloe Spuffard, have walked, run, cycled and swam an incredible 521km between them, showing true Team Greencore spirit and commitment to the cause!   Globally, male suicide rates are a serious concern, with too many men suffering in silence. The Movember Foundation is working to reduce male suicide rates by 25% by 2030. Every conversation, every donation and every step counts.   Whether it's growing a moustache, walking kilometers, or simply checking in on a mate, we can all play a part in breaking down the stigma around men's mental health.   Want to support our team's efforts?

On Tuesday, members of the OPT Team visited Bourne Green, an innovative social housing project in Hook Norton. A once neglected plot of land has been transformed into an attractive and sustainable development for the 21st century, blending new design with the village’s traditional character. Led by the Hook Norton Community Land Trust (HNCLT) in partnership with Charlie Luxton Design, Greencore Homes,Low Carbon Homes, SNRG and Cherwell District Council, the scheme includes eight affordable rental homes and four market-rate properties. Built to Passivhaus-equivalent standards, the homes feature sustainability measures including a smart electricity microgrid, renewable energy systems, and better-than-carbon-zero construction. Extensive consultation with local residents ensured that shared amenities, such as a co-working hub, community garden and even an electric car rental scheme, were incorporated into the design. The result is a sustainable and attractive housing solution that meets local needs while setting a benchmark for future projects. Thank you to Charlie Luxton for showing us around this forward-thinking development. Anna Eavis Laura Warden Charlie Jacobs Louise Lockyer
