Spring has sprung and with it comes our latest edition of At Home with Karbon.
There’s lots to get your teeth into in this edition, quite literally in the case of the Easter brownie recipe on page 4, provided by our colleague Amy Robinson.
We’ve been going behind the scenes with our Customer Accounts, Supported Housing and Foundations for Life teams to find out more about what their jobs involve and how they help people in our communities.
Speaking of our communities, there are some fantastic articles on projects that our Community Investment Team has been able to support and fund. On page 13 you can find out how pupils from St Oswald’s Primary School have been developing new skills at a new housing development in Hebburn. And on page 16, you can discover how a young volunteer scheme in Stanley has helped one teenage girl find her first job.
I hope you enjoy the latest edition and have a cracking Easter as well.
