Celebrating Recycle-IT’s Three-Year Anniversary: A Heart-warming Milestone
Posted on:
We were thrilled to be invited as guests to celebrate Recycle-IT’s 3-year anniversary—a truly remarkable event filled with inspiration, connection, and a powerful sense of purpose.
The evening kicked off with an inspiring story from John Hastings, the visionary founder of Recycle-IT. John’s passion for creating a social solution to the digital divide was evident as he shared the journey behind the project. His dedication to bridging digital poverty and making a positive social impact is not only admirable but truly transformative. Thank you, John, for being such an extraordinary human being and for your ongoing commitment to changing lives within our communities.
It was wonderful to catch up with familiar faces like David Morgan CF FRSA MIOEE, Steve Fisher, Simon Jones, Darryl Kennedy, and John Chapman. The evening also provided an opportunity to network with new connections, including Kirith Entwistle, MP for Bolton North, Peter Alstead and the Bolton College team, Nick Peel, Leader of Bolton Council, as well as Lewis Meredith and Tasso Patrichis.
A special shoutout to Carrs Pasties Ltd for supplying the delicious pasties, and to Kier K. for bringing them along for everyone to enjoy. It was a delightful touch to an already unforgettable evening.
Hearing the stories from those who have benefited from Recycle-IT’s work was both humbling and heart-warming. These individuals spoke of how the project has helped them gain confidence, develop teamwork skills, and discover a renewed sense of purpose and belonging. The impact of this initiative is clear—it’s changing lives and creating opportunities where they are most needed.
At Genuine Futures – Changing Lives, we are truly honoured to have been part of this special occasion. We are excited to continue working alongside Recycle-IT, collaborating to further bridge the digital employment skills gap and create even more life-changing opportunities.
Here’s to a successful year ahead for everyone involved with Recycle-IT! We look forward to growing stronger together as we continue making a difference.
