Important announcement

Unforeseen operational resource challenges over the weekend mean that our food waste collection service is suspended today, Monday 3 November.

If your food waste bin was due to be emptied today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Monday 10 November.

Green bin collections in a small number of streets in the Lenzie, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden area are also affected. If your green bin has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection tomorrow, Tuesday 4 November.

Our teams will be working hard to minimise the impact, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

This employee news aims to remind you of the Wellbeing pages where you can find a wealth of accessible health and wellbeing information and advice that you may find useful. 

There are sections on:

  • Staying safe
  • Physical activity
  • Financial wellbeing
  • Emotional Wellbeing and Resilience
  • The Employee Assistance Programme
  • Bereavement & Counselling.

Each month there is a focus on a particular aspect of health and wellbeing, linked to international, national and local campaigns and initiatives. This month there are several campaigns running, from World Sepsis Day and World Suicide Prevention Day to National Fitness Day and the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. 

Some of you may be interested in attending the Healing Through Loss webinar on Tuesday, 23 September, which offers valuable insights into understanding grief, finding support and discovering helpful ways to promote healing. You can access more information and book a place on the free webinar on the Monthly Focus on Health and Wellbeing page.

The Wellbeing pages are updated regularly, so please have a look each month as you may find something that will benefit you and boost your health and wellbeing. 

Thank you,

Ann Davie
Chief Executive
