Green Travel Policy

Lewis Manning Hospice is serious about its responsibilities in caring for the environment and makes every effort to reduce unnecessary car usage and promotes efficient and effective transport arrangements.

This is line with the Department of Transports work “to promote initiatives that can reduce congestion, improve local environments and encourage healthier and safer lifestyles” (Department of Transport report of sustainable travel – 2007).

The aim is to encourage and promote efficient travel arrangements for all staff, volunteers and patients.  This would include car share, use of bicycles, public transport and other efficient and environmentally aware methods of transport as appropriate.

Our aims for the future include influencing members of staff and volunteers to avoid making journeys during peak travel times, encouraging the purchasing and use of vehicles with low fuel consumption and/or harmful exhaust emissions and to plan their day to avoid inefficient and repetitive journeys.

Lewis-Manning Hospice will make every effort within its means to discourage single occupancy use of motor transport and will pro-actively encourage the use of alternative environmentally friendly methods. 

LMH will continue to explore ways in which staff, volunteers, visitors and patients can be supported and encouraged in this endeavour.
