#CreativeThursdays: NHS Rainbow Art.
As we take our daily walks, we notice the hundreds of rainbows that now adorn the pavements, walls, shop shutters and windows of our streets and houses around the UK. We’ve spotted road markings and even a train or two.
For this week’s #AtHomeWithHost #CraftyThursday we thought we’d share a few ways to get creative with rainbows and show your support at home.

#HostEnvironmentalPledge.
Getting serious about the environment we live in.
To become more ‘environmentally friendly’, Host is launching the #HostEnvironmentalPledge campaign to encourage responsible behaviour and drive sustainability across our sites throughout the UK and Ireland.
It’s a simple campaign! If we can reduce our overall utilities (electric, water and gas) consumption by 1% then we will donate £10,000, 2% reduction means £20,000, 3% is £30,000 and so on, to 3 charities; BulliesOut, Planet Patrol and World Land Trust.
