Business News Recycling scheme gives back to charity
Rose Hill Crematorium, based in Cantley, Doncaster, has donated £8000 to local charity Mind as a result of a share of surplus funds from a national recycling scheme. Doncaster Council, which runs
Rose Hill Crematorium, is a member of the Metal Recycling Scheme run by the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM), which recycles metals which are left after a cremation. Once written consent is given
from each bereaved family, metals such as orthopaedic implants and materials used in the construction of the coffin are recycled by the ICCM, with proceeds donated to charity. The funds were
raised thanks to the kind donations from bereaved families and loved ones who gave permission for the metals to be recycled. In return, Doncaster Mind gave a certificate to the crematorium to show thanks and recognise their support. Natalie Ball, Bereavement

cheque to Doncaster Mind, to help fund their important work in supporting people with
mental health difficulties. “We received confirmation of
Services Co-ordinator at Rose Hill Crematorium, said: “We are pleased
this donation during Mental Health Week, which felt particularly fitting due to the work underway within
the borough to support mental health awareness and support of our residents. “We give our greatest thanks to
those bereaved families and loved ones who chose to make the decision to donate the recycled metals, and to think of others, at a terribly difficult time in their own lives.”
Laura Arthur, Finance and
Fundraising Officer at Doncaster Mind, said: “We are always grateful to receive donations as money here at Doncaster Mind is very limited and this will enable us to offer support and additional activities to people and their families in Doncaster and the surrounding areas.”
