A successful day of community action for Immingham!

On Friday 24 April, we hosted a hugely successful community clean‑up event in Immingham, bringing together customers, colleagues, partners and other local residents for a day of positive community action.

Based around Hadleigh Road, the event combined litter picking with a skip clean-up, significantly improving the local environment by removing a total of 6,680kg of waste!

Joined by our partners at Phillips 66, Fortem, Andy’s Man Club and North East Lincolnshire Council, teams worked together to improve spaces across the town through litter picking and by helping customers remove excess waste from their homes.

In total, nine skips were filled – including two generously donated by Fortem – giving customers and members of the local community a safe and accessible way to dispose of bulky household waste that is often difficult or costly to remove.

Elissia Bingham, an LHP customer said: “We really valued the opportunity to clear a significant amount of waste from our garden. Many people can’t afford to pay for skips, so events like this go a long way in helping to tackle fly‑tipping. It’s nice to feel like some pride has been restored in the area.”

As with previous skip days, items in good condition were set aside for be reused in the local area where appropriate, helping to reduce waste and promote sustainability.

Bikes were collected by our Task team and taken to Re‑volution Bike Hub in Nunsthorpe, where unwanted bikes are refurbished for community use.

Prams were donated to the Together Baby Bank in Immingham, clothes and household items in good condition were taken to charity shops, and scrap metal was set aside for sorting and processing.

We also saw items being swapped on the day, with people arriving to use the skips and leaving with reusable items such as garden furniture instead of sending them to landfill.

Nina Stobart, External Communications & Public Affairs Lead at Phillips 66, said: “As a major business in the area, it’s important that we belong and that we’re part of the community where we live and work. It's great to be able to support a day like this, helping the community of Immingham and working together with LHP. It's all part of our ‘Good Energy’ ethos at Phillips 66.”

It was brilliant to see teams from across LHP volunteering their time alongside our partners, highlighting the importance of partnership working.

The difference made to the area was clear to see, and the event received exceptional feedback. A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time and effort to help make the day such a success!
