✊ Knock, knock! We've got a very BIG + important (little) delivery for 10 Downing St! 📦 Thank you to everyone who signed, supported + shared the petition to #BacktheAct and give little ones their future back! With the help of Poppy, William and Sharon Hodgson MP, we delivered our petition (with a whopping 14,000 signatures ✍🏼) to 10 Downing Street, calling on our new Government to commit to adopting a Future Generations Act. Now we’ve delivered the petition straight to the Prime Minister’s front door, we won’t just be waiting for his response. Instead, we’ll be working with MPs to raise the issue in Parliament and continue to shout about how important it is that we put little futures first! 📣 Find out more about how we've been Campaigning for Change here: https://lnkd.in/esrftVSh #LittleFuturesFirst #FutureGensAct 

Spend the day with us to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth! One of the pillars of our Diversity + Inclusion framework is Education 📚 So we love inviting guests to our Barns to talk about their experiences and help our teamies broaden their thinking about the world around us! Last week, we had the amazing Will Njobvu visit us to share his experiences navigating the world of entertainment and journalism as a minority and the profound affect those experiences have had on his confidence. We also had an incredibly insightful “Lunch + Learn” with our very own Myles Minott who played his brave card to educate the team on black history and hosted an open and honest Q+A to help us champion our Be Curious value! At Ella’s Kitchen, we always try to promote a Culture of Togetherness where the Barns are a welcoming home for everyone and where people are able to be their true authentic selves, living and breathing our value of Fostering Inclusion everyday ❤️

On #WorldMentalHealthDay it is super important to all come together to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters 🩵 Talking about our mental health can help us cope better with life’s ups and downs. So, let's use today as a reminder to check in with our friends, family, peers and colleagues. This year’s theme is workplace mental health. We have our team of Mental Health First Aiders at the barns, who are on hand for a cuppa + a chat whenever we need. We're also sharing lots of hints + tips this week on looking after our #mentalhealthatwork, how we can all work together to #fosterinclusion and how to check in on our teamies too!

It's officially coaching season at Ella's ⭐️ We're really excited to be launching our 4th cohort with Animas Centre for Coaching for barners! Coaching is a brilliant way of working on some of the things that potentially get in the way of us moving forward and reaching our goals. Through our employee’s Money Development Pots, barners have access to the amazing trainee coaches at #Animas to help their development both professionally and personally. Take a look at what some of our barners, Meg + James, had to stay about their previous experiences with Animas coaches! #employeedevelopment #traininganddevelopment

We're super excited to announce the launch of our new partnership with leading employee engagement app, eevie! 🌍👏 The eevie app will educate, inspire and encourage barners to make simple, climate-friendly and nature-positive choices every day, through a series of educational content and monthly challenges. For every climate conscious choice made, barners will be rewarded with seedlings to restore at 3 of our partner, the RSPB's, protected sites - helping to build on our #30by30 goal to restore and protect 30 million square feet of wildflower meadows by 2030 in the UK 🌱🐝🌻🐞 To find out more about the #eevieapp and our partnership, head over to https://lnkd.in/eYsTJnmh #sustainbilityaction #climateconsciousbehaviour #sustainbilitygoals #protectingnature #ClimateEngagement #GreenTeam #BtheChange #BCorp #EcoFriendlyWorkplace #SustainableBusiness #EmployeeEngagement

Can we do it all over again, POT GANG?! 🪴👏

It was fantastic to welcome the team from the RSPB to the Barns this week! We had inspiring conversations about our partnership to help protect and restore 30 million square feet of wildflower meadows across the UK by 2030—our #30by30 goal. 🌼 We all felt super energised, learning not only how crucial businesses are in driving real change to protect nature and why we need to step up, but also the vital role nature plays in our daily lives—and the consequences we face if we fail to act. 🌍 We’re super proud to be working with the #RSPB to help deliver their vision for a shared world where wildlife, wild places, and all people thrive. 🌿 Special shoutout to David Wilding, Site Manager at RSPB Otmoor, for sharing the incredible work happening on the ground through this partnership, and to Dave Bloor and the rest of the RSPB team for visiting. 🙌 It’s brilliant to see what we’ve achieved in 1 year of our partnership so far to protect the homes of our birds, bees and bugs 🐜 and we’re excited to continue working together to champion nature across our business, and #GrowOurImpact to 2030 + beyond! 🌱 #PartnershipForNature #30by30 #Sustainability #ProtectWildlife #Biodiversity #BCorp #NatureLegacy

We invited the amazing team from POT GANG to the barns today for a plant-growing workshop! 🪴 Their beginner-friendly kits make it incredibly easy for anyone to start growing their own food from home. Not only did we learn lots but it was also a wonderful opportunity for barners to take some time out of their busy days, connect with each other and learn how growing your own veg + herbs can support your wellbeing. We're so excited to watch our little gardens grow! 🌿🥕 Thank you #PotGang for such a refreshing and inspiring day! 💚
