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.

This week we’re celebrating Volunteers Week. Running from Monday 1 June to Sunday 7 June 2026 this is an annual UK-wide campaign to recognise the contributions of volunteers.

Launched in 1984, this initiative has been running for over 40 years, providing organisations and communities a platform to thank current and past volunteers for their invaluable efforts.

Volunteering makes an invaluable contribution; in 2004 it added £4.6 billion in productivity gains to the UK economy.

At Derventio Housing Trust, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteer board members who go above and beyond to help us achieve our mission to offer safe and secure accommodation and support to help people grow their independent living skills, keep their home and reduce the risk of facing homelessness again.

For more information on the value of volunteering and how you can get involved please visit

🚲🌍 World Bicycle Day 🌍🚲

World Bicycle Day is a celebration of the bicycle - a simple, affordable, reliable, and environmentally friendly form of transport.

At Growing Lives, we run weekly bicycle workshop sessions every Thursday 🔧 , where participants restore broken and unwanted bikes and bike parts back into fully working bicycles.

Not only do participants learn valuable practical skills 🛠️, but they also experience a real sense of achievement and independence by keeping and using the bikes they restore themselves.

Many use their bikes as transport to and from Growing Lives, while also benefiting from exercise and helping the environment through greener travel.

Through these workshops, participants build confidence, develop new skills, and make a positive impact on both their wellbeing and the environment. 🚴
