  • #57 Reduce Reuse Recycle with ILM - Late 20s - Cheating on Shannon
    May 30 2026

    Shannon and Tom are back with another Saturday Drop In, along with the Saturday posse!

    We chat to Kenny from ILM Highland about how they are supporting the community by refurbishing domestic items, responsibly reclining and safely disposing of end of life items and supporting people to live at home for longer.

    Shannon is coming to terms with the fast approaching end of her 20s, while Tom supports her by abandoning her for some other HHR colleagues.

    We play Guess the Year and Beat Detective, catch up with some movie releases and binge TV viewing with Rory and generally just have a good time to make your time in hospital that little bit better!
