🎉 Well Done Neil! 🎉

Congratulations to Neil on achieving his second certificate this year this time in Emergency First Aid at Work! 👏

Neil earned this qualification through his ongoing volunteer work with the Wellies Project, an organisation that provides outdoor therapeutic activities to support people experiencing poor mental health across the Derbyshire and Staffordshire areas.

This is a fantastic achievement and a true reflection of Neil’s ongoing commitment to developing his skills and supporting others through his volunteer work with The Wellies Project.

This recent story from Derbyshire Live highlights the potential dangers of charging electrical devices, with firefighters from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service who were called to a fire at property in Sawley.

The blaze was found to have been caused by a remote-control car being left on charge.

Thankfully no one was injured, although the property sustained significant damage.

In July last year a resident living in a Derventio Housing Trust property in Swindon caused a serious fire after plugging in an e-scooter to charge which then burst into flames.

The fire quickly took control and residents had to flee for safety. Fortunately, no-one was hurt.

In response to this we have launched a hard-hitting safety video warning residents of the dangers of electric scooters and e-bikes. Having secured a grant from Electrical Safety First we commissioned Derbyshire behaviour change marketing company MacMartin who worked with AVIT Media on the shoot.

Electric scooters and e-bikes are fitted with lithium-ion batteries which can explode, causing fires which quickly fill a room with thick, toxic smoke and are hard to extinguish.

Derventio will be showing the film to all residents across five UK counties, totalling around 1200 people a year and it will form part of its onboarding procedure for people who are coming to live in one of its properties for the first time.
