Supporting Local Authorities with Sustainability Education

Our award-winning local authority waste and climate action schools programme is designed to help councils achieve their sustainability and climate goals through engaging and impactful educational initiatives for schools.

For over a decade, we’ve partnered with local authorities to deliver tailored programmes addressing key environmental priorities, including waste management, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, sustainable travel, water conservation, biodiversity, and climate action.

Why Partner with Us?

Our programme delivers measurable progress on national and local priorities, such as those outlined in the Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy and Defra’s environmental objectives, while offering a cost-effective, invest-to-save solution that benefits schools, communities, and local budgets.

A Proven, Invest-to-Save Solution

Our programme is more than just education—it’s a cost-effective partnership that drives positive change across schools and communities, while addressing local authority budget pressures.

Here’s what you gain by partnering with us:

• Cost Reductions: Achieve savings through improved energy and water efficiency, smarter waste strategies, and more effective engagement with schools as trusted communication channels into homes.
• Localised Solutions: Tackle local priorities through bespoke school and community programmes and tailored messaging.
• Enhanced Engagement: Strengthen existing school and community initiatives or deploy the programme as a stand-alone service to maximise participation and impact.
• National Campaign Support: Benefit from a cyclical national campaign calendar to sustain engagement throughout the academic year.
• Measurable Results: Access detailed reporting tools to track environmental impact, carbon reductions, and financial savings.

By investing in this programme, you can create lasting social, economic, and environmental benefits for your community while demonstrating leadership in sustainability.
