At the Wolseley Community and Economic Development Trust, we are committed to creating a resilient, healthy, and sustainable future for our tenants and our local community

GREEN LEASES

Our business park team has spent the year preparing to introduce Green Leases for our tenants. By incorporating specific terms focused on energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction, we are expanding our existing sustainability efforts.

This move allows our parks to create a much more sustainable environment that benefits both our tenants and the local community, helping our partners boost their own green credentials through a collaborative approach.

GREEN SPACES

Wolseley Business Park: The Patchwork Garden

The Patchwork Garden is a vibrant, multi-use space designed to facilitate wellbeing and community connection.

The garden provides a quiet, accessible outdoor area for employees to decompress and for community members to gather.

Its layout supports a variety of functions, from individual breaks to organised community activities and gardening groups

BIODIVERSITY

To support local wildlife and improve urban ecology, we have integrated several biodiversity initiatives throughout our developments:

Wildflower meadows: Using native varieties to replace traditional lawns, providing foraging opportunities for pollinators while reducing maintenance costs.

Pollinator-friendly zones: Specifically designed areas to support bees and butterflies.

Habitat creation: We have strategically placed bee and bug hotels, log piles, and bird and bat boxes to provide crucial breeding sites.

ENERGY

We optimise unique community-led models to power our facilities through renewable energy:

Wolseley Community Hub:

Powered by Just Power CIC (a collaboration between Wolseley Trust and Locality). This project is embedded within our operations, creating a replicable model for sustainable community investment.

TRANSPORT

Our transport hub initiative aims to promote a more sustainable infrastructure, encouraging eco-friendly commuting and boosting employee wellbeing:

Cycle Facilities:

We provide secure cycle racks and storage to support healthy lifestyle choices.

Electric Bike Station:

Installed adjacent to the Wolseley Community Hub to provide a low-carbon alternative for the local community and tenants.

Strategic Links:

Our parks are well-located near existing public transport networks to reduce reliance on private vehicles.

Partnerships:

In partnership with Plymotion, we hosted Beryl Bike training sessions for our tenants and local residents.

To encourage alternative travel to work, and we have issued 31 free 400-minute bike vouchers

WASTE

We are committed to a circular economy and minimising our waste footprint:

Zero to Landfill:

We work with a zero-to-landfill recycling contractor, provided free of charge for our tenants.

Compost Scheme:

We repurpose food waste from our community café to create compost. This organic material is then used by our grounds team to feed the flowerbeds and planted areas across our parks.

WATER

We are implementing practical solutions to conserve water and reduce plastic waste:

Refill Station:

We have dedicated stations within our community facilities and offices making chilled, filtered water easily available for tenants, visitors and hirers or our meeting rooms and conference facilities.

Water Butts:

Located on-site to harvest rainwater, which is used for the ongoing maintenance of our business park grounds and gardens.

 A community-led initiative in Plymouth, Age Positive helps older adults stay active, independent, and connected. Delivered by the Wolseley Trust with Improving Lives Plymouth and Timebank South West, it reduces isolation and boosts quality of life – making ageing a time to thrive.

Three interconnected elements:

• Frailty-Focused Social Prescribing – personalised one-to-one support from a dedicated Link Worker at the Wolseley Trust.
• Peer Support (Improving Lives Plymouth) – breaking down barriers and building meaningful social connections.
• Skills Exchange (Timebank South West) – sharing skills and time to grow confidence, purpose, and community contribution.

Our Frailty Social Prescribing Link Worker (FSPLW) works hand-in-hand with GP practices and local partners, making sure older people get the right support at the right time by:

• Connecting patients to community resources like Wellbeing Hubs, Memory Matters, and The Elder Tree.
• Supporting people directly with tailored advice and encouragement.
• Building confidence across the local workforce by sharing training and promoting frailty-aware ways of working
