Welcome to Network. This week, we invite you to find out about how we recycle paper, share news regarding
Easter HAPpy Activity Camps, flag up how to get council tax support, highlight an Easter Egg Donation Drive, and showcase International Women's Day. All that, plus news from our colleagues at East Herts Healthy Hub.
** What happens to paper when you recycle it?
------------------------------------------------------------
East Herts and North Herts Councils' Shared Waste Service has launched a video to promote paper recycling, highlight the importance of separating out paper from other types of recycling, and show what happens once your paper recycling box has been emptied.
Our recycling mascot, Paige, talks you through why it's worth recycling paper. It's not just beneficial for the environment but it also helps us keep the costs of running services down since we get income from the resale of the paper.

** Change, Acceptance and Wellbeing Course
------------------------------------------------------------
Are you helping or supporting someone (not in a professional role) - such as a partner, child, relative or friend - who would not manage without your help?
New Leaf College has worked with Carers in Hertfordshire to co-developed a new two-part course to support. You’ll:
* discuss and reflect on the many changes that may result from a caring role, including feelings of loss, grief and guilt,
* explore the importance of acceptance, hope, and self-care in personal recovery,
* learn some practical coping skills to manage your own wellbeing whilst supporting another.
Sessions run on 13 and 20 March, 10am – 1pm at Everyone Active, Lytton Way, Stevenage, SG1 1LZ.
