Community Engagement

Our goal is to raise awareness and help people understand what they can do, we have a programme of community engagement activities, teaming up with with local schools and colleges, and exhibiting at events such as school fetes, sustainability events, and Eco Festivals.

Schools and Local organisations

We can work with school and community events in a variety of ways.

We have an a large tree on which people can cut out leaves and share their thoughts on climate and environmental issues. The theme of the tree can be structured to suit your event. For example we recently used it discuss water and the environment.

We also offer information and advice on our community solar scheme; energy saving through our thermal camera scheme; and tree planting, sometimes in conjunction with Avon Needs Trees.

We also have a beautiful wooden tree structure, made for us by Wiltshire Wood Recycling, that we can bring to your organisation or community event to run the imagination exercise in person. It’s a great way of engaging with people of all ages. Contact us.
