We're proud to announce an exciting new chapter in our story.

Recycling Lives is now Onward Lives.

Our previous name reflected where we began and the important work we do. Our new name reflects where we're going and the future we're building together.

Recycling Lives described the work. Onward Lives describes the future.

This rebrand represents our continued commitment to supporting people as they overcome challenges, build confidence, gain opportunities, and move forward into brighter futures.

While our name has changed, our mission remains the same: creating positive, lasting change in people's lives and communities.

We're also refreshing our social media channels and will be sharing more stories, updates, successes, and opportunities to get involved. We'd love to build a stronger online community and connect with more of you along the way.

👉 Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and help us spread the word about Onward Lives.

Thank you to our supporters, partners, staff, and everyone who has been part of our journey. We look forward to continuing this work together as Onward Lives.

Here's to moving onward, together. ❤

Great turnout last week at Fresh Start Cafe for our Food Safety Level 1 Course! 👨‍🍳📚

It was fantastic to see so many people engaging, asking questions, and building their confidence around safe food handling, hygiene, and kitchen best practices. Courses like this are a great way to gain valuable knowledge for anyone looking to work in hospitality, catering, or simply improve their understanding of food safety standards.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the session such a success — the interest and enthusiasm in the room was brilliant!

If you’d like to find out when the next Food Safety Course will be running, please get in touch with Mike at:
