Intuitive Thinking Skills Raises Money for Macmillan by Recycling their Tech!

Intuitive Thinking Skills has successfully raised £230.12 for Macmillan Cancer Support by recycling their redundant IT and electronic equipment.

Macmillan Cancer Support is one of the largest British charities, providing specialist healthcare, financial support and information supporting both cancer patients and those directly affected including carers and family members. There are over 200 different types of cancer, each affecting individuals in communities throughout the UK, each needing individual treatment.

It is now believed that an astonishing 1 in 2 people in the UK will now be directly affected by cancer. Macmillan works tirelessly to provide individual and invaluable support, through the dedication and hard work of professionals such as the Macmillan nurses, people living with cancer are now living a longer and leading a fulfilled life.

Intuitive Thinking Skills is a national peer led organisation that has grown steadily throughout the UK since 2005. They are commissioned to work alongside existing treatment, Employment, criminal justice, domestic abuse and young people service providers across England & Wales with many more now recognising the contribution they make to successful and sustained outcomes.

Central to their work is the belief that every person has the ability and desire to change their lives and circumstances. Intuitive Thinking Skills encourage, promote and support personal responsibility, empowering people to fulfil their ambitions.

Vicki Camp, Senior Relationship Fundraising Manager commented on the donation: “The money raised by Intuitive Thinking Skills could help Macmillan support over 12 people via our Cancer Information & Support Team. They provide specialist emotional and practical support, along with signposting to other services to people and their families living with cancer. It is a crucial support line and we would like to thank everyone who donated equipment to help us continue the work we do.”

Gary Mo, Managing Director at SE Recycling said: “Intuitive Thinking Skills are a perfect example of how a business can create their own personal circular economy. They are not only helping support such a great cause, but they are helping protect the environment whilst doing so.”

Andes Mountains Hydro Power - Chile

Located in the Tinguiririca River upper valley, this Hydroelectric project is around 120km south of Santiago, Chile. Known as La Confluencia, the 163 MW run of river hydro power plant utilizes the hydrological resources of the Tinguiririca, Portillo and Azufre Rivers, in a run of river scheme to generate and supply zero emission energy to the Chilean central electricity grid (SIC). The power plant generates certified emission reductions (CERs) by displacing electricity generation from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants that would otherwise be generating electricity.

Environmental Sustainability

The primary objective of the proposed project is to help meet Chile’s rising demand for energy due to its economic growth and to improve the supply of electricity, while contributing to the environmental, social (job creation in the construction phase, and infrastructure enhancements in surrounding municipalities) and economic sustainability by increasing renewable energy’s share on the Chilean electricity consumption. The Project activity improves the supply of electricity with clean, renewable hydroelectric power while contributing to the regional/local economic development.

Social Development

Through the “Tinguiririca Participa” grant program, the project directly finances proposals presented by community organisation, in areas such as healthcare, education, and social change. In the first year of the program, the joint venture financed 11 projects, while today the number of projects surpasses 200. All of these initiatives are aimed at meeting community needs.

Flora and Fauna

In addition to social projects, reforestation of around 120 hectares around the site has been implemented, helping protect and improve the local flora and fauna, with a specific impact on local Tricahue Parrot, Torrent Duck, Freshwater Catfish, Torrent Duck and Freshwater Catfish species.
