Some of our Partners paid a visit to Greatmoor, one of the UK's leading Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities, located between Quainton and Steeple Claydon, which was put into operation in June 2016

Greatmoor employs proven robust technology and each year burns 345,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste collected from the surrounding district to drive steam powered turbines that produce 25 Million Watts (25MW) of electricity, enough to power 40,000 homes

State-of-the-art gas cleaning and emissions monitoring technology ensure harmful toxins are removed from the exhaust gases and mostly water vapour is released into the atmosphere through the exhaust stack

SUPPORTING OUR NHS

Haddenham Rotary install personal TV system to help improve patient welfare 

STOKE MANDEVILLE HOSPITAL Renal Unit

The 12 bed renal dialysis unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital shared 5 televisions
and the choice of a channel to watch was something of a lottery

Now, every bed has it's own TV and DVD machine, remote control and headphones
so each patient can please themeselves about what to watch

"On behalf of all the staff, children and parents I want to thank you so much for the brand new televisions which have been installed in the PDU, and for the Kindles too

The difference it makes to a frightened young child is incredible and makes their stay with us a little easier. I spent half an hour with a little 6 year old last week playing on the Kindle before his MRI scan, he was calm and relaxed which is exactly how we needed him to be

We are all so grateful for your kindness and generosity"
Sarah – PDU Play Leader
