SHAKESPEARE LIONS

£500

We regularly complete our 'Message in a Bottle' task for Lions. This is a free scheme for residents aged 60 or older who live alone, or have an illness or disability. The scheme allows individuals to keep their personal and medical details in a recognisable plastic bottle in the fridge, where it can be easily accessed in the event of an emergency. Two green cross stickers are provided so that emergency services will know you are signed up to the scheme - one for the inside of your front door and one for your fridge. At Work-Shop, our participants prepare the bottles by placing the stickers and leaflets inside. We are proud to have been part of this brilliant initiative for so long and are very grateful for a recent donation we received from Shakespeare Lions.

Brigitte Green

Office Manager - Lions Club International

"Lions clubs could not operate this lifesaving scheme without the hard work undertaken by the ECO Work-Shop team. We have been working closely with them for over 12 months and they have proven themselves to be both professional and extremely efficient and have grown to become an invaluable part of our Lions' family. I have no hesitation in recommending the ECO Work-Shop to any organisation wishing to work with them and their highly motivated team".

Suzannah Brooks

Project Administration Apprentice - Heritage & Culture Warwickshire (HCW) - Warwickshire County Council

"The Work-Shop team are making a great contribution to our project to index witness statements from 19th century court cases. It's wonderful to be working with a new audience for our historical documents"

Ian Hill

M.D: Smart Systems UK Ltd

"We have had the pleasure of working with ECO Work-Shop for 6 years. Over this time, they have managed to adapt and support our business throughout many changes to the product as well as meet tight deadlines we set. The product they assemble is complicated and requires complex quality control measures. Work-Shop always display diligence and precision in their working practice (which is very importing to us). We have organised site visits to the factory so that the participants can see how their work is used. They are keen to adapt and support our business and it’s always a pleasure meeting and working with the participants".

Matt Shaw

Look Local Publications Ltd

“Look Local is delighted to be working with Eco Workshop. They provide a valuable, reliable and consistent service to us and have done so over more than 2 and a half years. The opportunities that they provide to their participants are particularly close to our hearts and we hope to continue working with Eco Workshop long into the future".
