Did you know it‚Äôs Mental Health Awareness Week? Hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, this year‚Äôs campaign focuses on Body Image ‚Äď how we think and feel about our bodies.
In March 2019, the Mental Health Foundation ran a survey with YouGov ‚Äď their findings showed that 20% of the adults surveyed have felt shame, 34% felt down or low and 19% felt disgusted because of their body image in the last year. Shockingly, one in eight adults experiences suicidal thoughts or feeling because of body image concerns.
If you or someone you know is struggling, don’t suffer in silence, help is there. Talking is a great first step forwards to better mental health and wellbeing #TimeToTalk #ItsOkayNotToBeOkay #BeBodyKind

How proud are we of our technical graduate Federica Lisa! Last night she represented the North East in the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3)'s Young Persons' Lecture Competition at the Armourers' Hall in London. Although she was pipped at the post, reaching the national final is a brilliant achievement! Many congratulations to the overall winner Megan McGregor, who represented the South East and delivered a lecture on the world's hottest super glue - very well done!

Anticipation is building as our technical graduate Federica Lisa sets off to #London for the final of Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3)'s Young Persons' Lecture competition!
She's already won 2 rounds to become the North East finalist, delivering her well-received lecture "Understanding the factors that influence power and graphite electrode consumption at the ladle arc furnaces and how these can be reduced". With the potential to save ¬£1m annually, it's an impressive piece of work! The overall winner of the 6 regional finalists will be crowned tomorrow and advance to the Young Persons' World Lecture Competition. Good luck Federica! #proud #LISI ūüćÄ

Today we were honoured to join a special ceremony in Scunthorpe to mark Workers' Memorial Day 2019. A service at The Baptist Church was followed by the laying of wreaths and a minute’s silence at the memorial stone in Central Park #WorkersMemorialDay

Today, 28 April, marks the 6th global Steel Safety Day. It’s an industry-wide initiative created by worldsteel to raise awareness of the 5 most common causes of safety incidents. This year’s theme is Process Safety Management, which involves identifying potential process safety hazards that could cause significant events such as fires or gas releases. Having procedures, controls and precautions in place to keep our employees, contractors and communities safe is something we take very seriously #steelsafetyday https://youtu.be/G2kbt9AfF2k
