Could YOU help us deliver for schools?
We are looking for a volunteer trustee to support and drive forward our education outreach work with children in local schools.
Our aim is to provide students of all ages with knowledge, understanding, and skills to help them navigate the future with resilience, confidence and wisdom. We want to empower them to make planet-friendly choices themselves, and enable them to amplify their voices in explaining those choices to others. Over the past two years we have delivered more than 100 transformative (and free) assemblies and workshops, reaching over 5,000 children, but with your help we could do much more.
Find out more about what's involved here.
