Hello,
It continues to be a worrying time with Covid-19 still having a significant impact. Our biggest priority continues to be the safety of our residents and staff and we have amended our ways of working (but still adhering to Government guidelines) to deliver as full a service as possible during this time.
All of us at Connexus are working as hard as we can to get services back to normal as soon as possible. Despite the likely restrictions during this time, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy Christmas and let’s hope that 2021 is a more positive year for all of us!
Richard Woolley, CEO

SDAS Donation from Plealey
Thank you Plealey! This year our Shropshire Domestic Abuse Service was fortunate to be nominated as their beneficiary and they raised £1,943 at the event. As they were so close to a round figure a Plealey resident donated £70 and today SDAS were presented with a cheque for £2,000.

Fire Door Safety Week
Fire doors help prevent the spread of flames and smoke up to 30 or 60 minutes in the event of a fire. They provide vital protection to anyone inside a building, giving them time to either get to safety or be rescued. External Fire Doors provide a safe passageway to escape in case of a fire or emergency. Fire doors help to save lives and prevent injury in a fire. In effective fire doors pose a risk to fire safety.

Recycling Week 2021
In 2021, Recycle Week will run from 20th to 26th September. The theme for this year is 'Step It Up this Recycle Week'. This theme has been chosen to rally a movement in combating the Climate Crisis. During a difficult COVID-19 pandemic where we haven’t had much control on day-to-day events, recycling is something we can have control over. The urge is for everybody to step it up this Recycle Week and join the fight against climate change!
