The NHS is estimated to use over 150 million blister packs annually, contributing to 36 million tons*😯of blister packs produced each year. They are difficult to recycle and don't go in normal recycling bins. Many Boots stores across the country now have blister pack recycling boxes where you can drop off empty packs.
Craiglockhart Parish Church is one church taking action by having a church collection point. Find out more in our latest blog:

Did you know that Boots, in partnership with MyGroup, operate a nation-wide blister pack recycling scheme? More than 7 tons was collected in stores in 2024.

❗️People's Emergency Briefing: ONLINE screening❗️

📅 Wednesday 24th June | 7-9pm

We are delighted to announce that SCCAN will be holding a special ONLINE screening of the People's Emergency Briefing.

The film, unpacks the reality of the climate and nature crisis in the UK, from food security and extreme weather to the cost of living, while highlighting the credible, community-led solutions within our reach.

Following the film, we will open up the floor for an interactive, hosted discussion to share our reflections, ask questions, and explore what these national insights mean for our local Scottish communities.

EVERYONE IS INVITED and please share far and wide so we can reach as many people as possible, especially those who have not been able to make it to in-person screenings.

We know there have already been many screenings happening in local areas and we really want people who have organised or attended these in the room too!

📍This online session is prioritising accessibility for all and is designed to complement local, in-person action
🤝 We invite organisers, hosts, and attendees of regional screenings to join us to cross-pollinate ideas
💬 Come and share how your local community responded, what questions surfaced in your area
🌱 Let's see how we can work together across the network to deepen our collective impact
