Here at Carcroft we believe that small actions can make a big difference, and our recent staff litter pick was a fantastic example of this.
Members of our staff crew came together to spend time outdoors, work as a team and help make our local area a cleaner, safer and more welcoming place for everyone.
Together, we can make a difference — one piece of litter at a time! 🌱
Have you seen what is going off in our local community?
In our local community, we have found a compassionate and vibrant network of support, filled with welcoming hubs, youth programs, health initiatives, and dedicated individuals all working together to uplift and care for one another.
The Staff Crew enjoyed a kindness campaign today where our goal was to brighten a neighbour’s day. We decorated a kindness rock and laid it in our local community… can you find it?. Here is our rock just waiting to be found! We cannot wait to see who found it and to let us know where its new home is.
Purchased through donation at Bullcroft Memorial Hall, Carcroft Staff have hidden a family favourite ‘Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree’ somewhere within the community.
Inside is a special message for anyone who finds it 📚
Today, we put stewardship into action by helping to look after our local community.
Our crew spent time litter picking around Carcroft, collecting rubbish and making shared spaces cleaner and safer for everyone. We also found abandoned shopping trolleys and returned them to Asda, where they belonged.
Stewardship means taking responsibility for the places we share—even when the litter or abandoned trolleys are not ours. Small actions can make a visible difference and show that we care about our community.
We are proud to have worked together to leave Carcroft better than we found it.
Today we worked as a crew to clean up our local spaces. We went to our local skate park, cleaned up the the rubbish and then handed what we had collected to the bin collection people. We enjoyed litter picking for 30 minutes and really gained some momentum. We found trolleys and returned them to the local Asda, bagged up rubbish safely and engaged with local residents to spread our message of community. Here we are working Hard to Be Kind to Carcroft being stewards of our community as we go.
Today, our staff crew went to the local book shop ‘Oak Tree Bookshop’ and bought book to support their fabulous work in our community. We then wrote a kind note inside and left it at the doctors for someone to discover, enjoy and share. We Cannot wait for someone to find the book and let us know how it made them feel. We hope they pay it forward and keep the kindness ripple going. At XP. we believe in sharing stories, what better way to do so than a book for a stranger kindness campaign.
Today as part of our staff crew challenge, we were tasked to use a local business, buy and hide a story book in the community for someone to find. We chose to use Oak Tree Bookshop and found a lovely story for just 30p! We’ve hidden it somewhere in our local area for someone to find and take home!
We visited the community noticeboard at Asda Carcroft and found several services that our pupils and families can use.
