Nominations Are Now Closed. Thank you for all your entries.

We’re proud to support the incredible work local charities do across Ashton-under-Lyne. Each year, we partner with one charity to support them through fundraising, events in the centre, and promotion across our digital channels, helping them reach more people and continue the work they do in our community.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with The Anthony Seddon Fund and Willow Wood Hospice, supporting their efforts and helping raise valuable funds along the way. Now, we’re looking for our next Charity Partner for 2026/27.

We know there are so many charities out there doing important and meaningful work, and we’d love to hear about as many as possible.

From June 10th to 18th, we invite you to embark on a journey with us, exploring the realm of shopping centre sustainability and discovering the collective changes we can make for a better world.

Great Big Green Week, a nationwide celebration dedicated to combatting climate change and preserving nature, is just around the corner. By showcasing the remarkable sustainable and green initiatives implemented by our stores, we aim to inspire positive change and encourage widespread participation.

Throughout our Sustainability Spotlight, we will illuminate the exceptional initiatives embraced by our shopping centre and its retailers. From innovative recycling programs to the availability of eco-friendly products, we will highlight the profound impact these initiatives have on our environment. 

Here at Ladysmith we are also committed to ensuring that all of the communal areas of the centre are powered by renewable energy and have already swapped all our bulbs over to energy efficient LED’s with motion sensors. Adding these sensors has massively reduced the amount of time these lights are on and reduced the electricity consumption of the centre.

To further our environmental development we are investigating the possibility of repurposing an unused section of our car park into a Bee Hive Sanctuary. This will see the implementation of hives which will be maintained by local beekeeping groups. We hope this plan will help increase biodiversity and assist with the declining bee population.

Together, we can contribute to the success of Great Big Green Week and create lasting positive change for our planet. By supporting businesses and initiatives that prioritise sustainability, we have the power to drive a significant transformation towards a greener future.

Ladysmith Shopping Centre is thrilled to announce our celebration of Great Big Green Week. Join us from June 10th to 18th as we explore shopping centre sustainability and embrace the positive changes we can make together. By showcasing our remarkable sustainable initiatives, we aim to inspire others and foster a sense of collective responsibility towards the environment.

Explore some of the eco-friendly food options available at Ladysmith, allowing you to make conscious choices that support the environment.

Ajwa Sandwich Bar: Supporting Local and Sustainable Food Choices

When it comes to enjoying delicious meals, head over to Ajwa Sandwich Bar, where you can indulge in a variety of options, including burgers, wraps, wings, and popcorn nuggets. By dining at Ajwa, you are not only treating yourself but also supporting local businesses. Choosing local food establishments helps reduce global carbon emissions by minimising transportation distances and supporting the local economy.

Costa: Plant-Based Milk and Vegan Options

Next time you visit Costa for your favourite cup of coffee, consider making an eco-friendly choice by swapping to a plant-based milk alternative. Whether it’s oat, almond, or soy milk, these options have a lower environmental impact compared to conventional dairy milk. Additionally, Costa offers vegan meat-free sandwich options, allowing you to reduce your meat consumption and positively impact the planet with your food choices.

Pound Bakery and Too Good to Go: Fighting Food Waste

Pound Bakery has partnered with Too Good to Go, a platform that sells surplus food at a discounted price through its app. By purchasing a “Magic Bag” from Pound Bakery through Too Good to Go, you can help combat food waste. The bag contains a variety of bakery items that would otherwise be discarded. Not only do you get to enjoy delicious treats at a lower cost, but you also contribute to reducing food waste and its associated environmental footprint.

Holland and Barrett: Sustainable Shopping for Eco-Friendly Products

When it comes to sustainable shopping, Holland and Barrett is a go-to destination. This store offers a wide range of eco-friendly products, including organic food, cruelty-free beauty products, and environmentally friendly household items. By choosing these sustainable alternatives, you support ethical and environmentally conscious practices.

Rosies Bar and Kitchen: Embracing Local Cafes and Restaurants

Another way to support sustainability during Great Big Green Week is by choosing to dine at local cafes and restaurants like Rosies Bar and Kitchen. By being a regular at local establishments, you reduce transportation-related emissions, support the local community, and enjoy the unique flavours and offerings of your region.

Ladysmith Shopping Centre proudly supports providing eco-friendly food options. From supporting local businesses to reducing food waste and making sustainable choices, you can actively contribute to a greener future through your food preferences. 

By making small changes in how we shop and eat, we can collectively make a significant difference in protecting the environment and combating climate change. 

Join us in supporting Great Big Green Week and let’s embrace eco-friendly food options together!

The post Ladysmith Supports Eco-Friendly Food Choices appeared first on Ladysmith Shopping Centre.

Ladysmith Shopping Centre is excited to join the cause and actively participate in promoting sustainability. A focus for this can be on the fashionable options and choices available, in particular our charity shops. These shops play a vital role in fostering environmental consciousness and offering eco-friendly fashion options.

Charity shops are at the forefront of promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility. These establishments offer a multitude of benefits that contribute to building a greener and more eco-friendly society. Let’s take a closer look at two key ways in which charity shops support these goals:

Reducing Waste:

Charity shops serve as vital intermediaries between unwanted belongings and landfills. By accepting donations of pre-loved items, these shops effectively divert these goods from becoming waste. Rather than discarding unwanted belongings, individuals have the option to donate them, granting these items a new lease on life. This practice significantly reduces waste accumulation and extends the lifespan of products, making a tangible impact on our environment.

Encouraging Recycling and Upcycling:

Charity shops often implement recycling and upcycling processes for items that cannot be sold in their original form. Materials such as textiles, metals, and plastics can be repurposed or recycled, reducing the demand for producing new materials from scratch. This practice conserves valuable natural resources and minimises the energy and water consumption associated with manufacturing new products. By supporting charity shops, shoppers actively contribute to these recycling and upcycling efforts.

Joining Great Big Green Week:

Ladysmith Shopping Centre invites you to support Great Big Green Week by actively participating in sustainable fashion choices. By making small changes to how we shop, we can collectively make a significant difference in preserving our environment.

Take the opportunity to visit Ladysmith’s charity shops during Great Big Green Week. Discover the wide range of eco-friendly and pre-loved fashion options available. By purchasing second-hand items, you can contribute to reducing waste and extending the lifespan of products.

If you come across unique pieces at charity shops that may need a little TLC, consider embracing your creative side and upcycling them. With a few alterations or additions, you can breathe new life into these items, giving them a fresh and personalised look.

Share your sustainable fashion finds and experiences on social media. By raising awareness and encouraging others to make eco-friendly choices, you can inspire positive change in your community.

Ladysmith Shopping Centre is proud to support Great Big Green Week and promote sustainability through our charity shops. By reducing waste, encouraging recycling and upcycling, and embracing eco-friendly fashion choices, we can contribute to a greener future. Let’s join forces and make a positive impact on our environment, one sustainable shopping choice at a time.
