7 Miles for No.7

Jul 31, 2024

On Sunday, Emanuel Whittaker donated water and hi-viz vests to the Yeds Supporters Group and Site Manager, Katie Lockwood, was also a first aider on the day, in support of their charity walk to raise funds for MND and in memory of Rob Burrow.

The walk was a 7-mile walk, walking from Boundary Park (Oldham) to Crown Oil Arena (Rochdale), before the Derby Day Fixture.

Raising funds for The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Appeal.

A Silent Auction also took place, where a Leeds Rhinos signed 2024 Shirt with Rob Burrow 7 on the back was on offer.

Over 200 people took part to raise money for this well-worthy cause.

Well done Katie and to everybody who took part!

Women in DIY

Jul 29, 2024

Salix Homes asked Emanuel Whittaker Site Manager, Katie Lockwood, and Multi-skilled Apprentice, Toni Kent, to attend a ‘Women in DIY’ event.

Whilst there, they helped the women master new skills and offered advice.

Working in collaboration with The Guinness Partnership, the training was delivered to female residents from both Guinness and Salix.

The training enabled 14 female participants over 18 years old and unemployed or on a low income, the opportunity to learn DIY and home maintenance skills, such as joinery, plumbing, plastering, tiling and more, as well as the chance to gain a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card.

Katie says that she cannot believe that 16 years ago she was in Toni’s shoes!

You have come a long way Katie, you should be very proud!
