As an organisation, we’re acutely attuned to the fact that climate change disproportionately affects those experiencing poverty. That’s why we’re working with communities to make them more resilient and ensure they can reduce, mitigate, and adapt to climate change through behavioural change methodologies. After a successful workshop last year, we were again invited by residents of East Leeds to give them useful information and advice on how to manage their carbon footprint at home and save money.

It’s not an overstatement to say the COVID-19 pandemic has brought huge changes to our lives. Not only have we lost loved ones and faced unprecedented challenges, the outbreak has taken our lives out of our hands – changing the way we work, socialise and go about our daily lives. Unsurprisingly, it has had a significant impact on our confidence and self-esteem too. The COVID-19 shocked the pillars of our children’s lives. Faced with quarantine, school closures, and social distancing, many children were deprived of the everyday experiences that normally build their...

The impact of climate change is devastating especially for people in deprived areas, but ingenuity can help them adapt and thrive. Solving the global climate change crisis is going to rely on, in one way or another, changing human behaviour. As individuals, we each have a responsibility to change how we live on a day to day basis to reduce the further onset of dangerous climate change. We can all play our part together and then many small changes will multiply into a large contribution.  Our team of young volunteers were gathered at the Middleton Circus speaking with residents and...

It was great to be in Middleton Arms where our armies of climate volunteers spoke to residents about the 3 ‘R’s – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. “Reduce is about cutting back on the amount of waste we make. Reuse is for finding a new way to use items so that we don’t have to throw them out. Recycle is using waste materials to make new products that can be sold again”. We have residents tips and handed flyers on how to greener and environmentally friendly. The phrase Reduce, Reuse, Recycle or the three ‘R’s is often used when we talk about how to be more...
