Leighton Buzzard Care Home Joins Recycling Campaign in Support of Macmillan Cancer Support

Residents and staff at a Leighton Buzzard care home have taken part in Greene King’s nationwide Tub2Pub campaign in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Leighton Rose, part of Macc Care Group, collected 120 empty plastic tubs throughout January in aid of the recycling campaign with the help of the local community.

The people of Leighton Buzzard came together to donate their empty confectionery tubs, which were personally delivered to The Globe Inn in Leighton Buzzard, one of the many Greene King pubs participating in this year’s Tub2Pub initiative.

All tubs donated as part of the campaign are sent to a specialist plastics reprocessing centre, where they are shredded and sold on to manufacturers to be reused in place of virgin plastic. Every penny raised from the sale of the plastic goes directly to Macmillan, helping fund vital cancer support services across the UK.

In 2025, the campaign saw over 240,000 tubs collected and more than £10,900 raised for the charity, and this year’s total is expected to exceed that once again.

Bhav Amlani, Director of Macc Care, said: “We are thrilled to have played our part in such a meaningful and environmentally-conscious initiative. Supporting campaigns like Tub2Pub not only reinforces our commitment to social responsibility, but also brings our residents and local community together with a shared purpose. A huge thank you to everyone in Leighton Buzzard who donated their tubs – your kindness will help make a real difference.”
