Going Green

Going Green is our estate-based sustainability programme, which promotes positive environmental behaviour.  Community Green Champions promote recycling, composting and energy efficiency to residents living on high density social housing estates.  We work with schools in providing environmental clubs for local children, teaching them about climate change and the urban environment.  We connect with the community through faith groups, promoting the ways in which caring for our environment aligns with the teachings of many faiths.  We work with volunteers from the local community and our commercial sector sponsors to deliver projects that improve the community's open spaces.  Our partners' funding also helps us to develop new projects that meet community needs.  We consult residents about their concerns and the barriers they face to recycling, composting and being more energy efficient.  We design and deliver innovative enterprise projects to overcome these challenges.
