They said: “ Wigan & Leigh Hospice are so appreciative of the support Stephensons has given us, not only in the past year but over the years.

Reforestation projects provide co-benefits for local people which can promote employment, gender equality, new income streams, more diverse food sources to support a healthier diet, and improved community facilities. They also help to restore healthy ecosystems, sequestering and storing even more carbon in soils and plant biomass, as well as boosting biodiversity. Healthy trees sequester CO2, making them climate champions from the moment they’re planted. Last week a project I proposed was supported by our CSR committee and we funded 416 trees in Mozambique.
