How to grow your own self-watering plant using recycled materials in seven easy steps!

As part of our ongoing LEAF activities, our Climate Action Officer recently held an interactive gardening session where he showed our residents how to reuse old plastic bottles by turning them into self-watering plants. Our aim was to demonstrate the benefits of growing plants at home, whilst being mindful of the materials that we use and considering how waste can be repurposed.

These sessions are part of the LEAF programme, made possible by our partnership with Dmusdghub and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund Climate Action Fund 🍀

Back in January, The Tube Bar at The International Music Venue had their second comeback event, where they raised money for One Roof Leicester and The Bridge Homelessness to Hope - Leicester. We are so delighted to say that altogether, they raised an incredible £405! We are so grateful to everyone involved in organising the event and making the evening such a success. We had an absolutely amazing time - the people, the music and the atmosphere were all fantastic! Their next event is on the 23rd May and we couldn't recommend it enough😊 A massive thank you again to The International Music Venue, The Tube Bar and Ian Sunderland 💜

One Roof Leicester: Business Manager

What we do:
One Roof Leicester is a local charity providing accommodation and support to single people who are homeless. We provide accommodation in ORL Homes which are located across the city. Whilst in an ORL Home, we provide intense support to help our residents to recover, reset and rebuild their lives. Once they are ready for independent living, we support them to secure move on accommodation.

Your main duties:
We are seeking an experienced and highly organised Business Manager to provide strategic and operational leadership across finance, HR, property management, compliance, and administration. This is a pivotal role within ORL, working closely with the Chief Executive Officer to ensure the organisation is financially sustainable, compliant, and well-run, and that our properties and systems support the delivery of safe, high-quality services for residents, staff, volunteers, and visitors.

What we are looking for:
An organised and proactive professional who enjoys making things work smoothly behind the scenes and supporting others to do their best work. Experience managing finances and budgets, handling HR administration, and ensuring systems and processes are compliant and well-run. Confident in line managing staff, strong communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills, along with a keen eye for detail and accurate record-keeping. Comfortable using IT systems, including Excel and management databases, and hold a Level 3 qualification (or equivalent). A driving licence and access to transport are essential, as the role involves regular travel between properties. Ideally, experience in property management and compliance, and you may bring a degree or professional qualification in business, finance, HR, property, or health and safety. Experience working in a charity, supported housing, or social housing environment, knowledge of charity governance, or familiarity with systems such as SAGE or In-Form would be an advantage.

A full job description, persons specification and application form are available on the One Roof Leicester website: www.oneroof.org.uk/vacancies/business-manager

Deadline for applications: 12pm Wednesday 4th March 2026

Last week our Climate Action Officer, Ola, organised group sessions for our residents to come in and learn about some small changes that they could be making at home to reduce waste and energy usage. Our residents (and some of our staff!) got stuck in and learnt lots about energy efficiency, waste minimisation and sustainability.

These sessions are part of our LEAF funded programme, made possible by our partnership with De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund 🍀

Since we had to close the Winter Night Shelter in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, we’ve been offering alternative winter accommodation each year to people who are rough sleeping. Sadly, with the rising number of people sleeping rough across the City and County, we have made the decision to reopen the shelter this winter.
This year, we will be running a static night shelter based in the city centre. The shelter will open from 1st December 2025 to 31st March 2026. We’ll be welcoming up to 20 guests each night, providing a safe, warm space from 9pm to 8am, along with hot and cold refreshments.
We’re really excited to reopen the shelter and would be thrilled if you’d consider volunteering with us. If you have time free in the evening or overnight and would like to help our night shelter be a success we would love to hear from you. Find out more about volunteering for the Winter Night Shelter on our website: https://www.oneroof.org.uk/our-work/winter-night-shelter
