Our Environmental Ambassadors will help deliver ‘green’ based schemes across the North East. We believe that Social Action is an important element of increasing and improving wellbeing and self worth.
Our Aims
At Building Self-Belief CIO we believe that Social Action is an important element of increasing and improving wellbeing and self worth. Our Environmental Programmes help young people develop better connections with their peers, their communities and it gives them a way of improving their own and other people’s lives for the better.
So many young people are conscious of the need to improve our environment and work towards a circular economy - and our projects are helping them do this. With a focus on the environment because of COP26 in Glasgow, we incorporated more of an eco-slant into our work.
Benfieldside Community Garden
We are very proud at how engaged the local children are with Benfieldside Community Garden. They come every week to our children's session where they help us to keep the garden looking fabulous!
If you would like to volunteer at the garden please get in touch.
Tow Law Eco Ambassadors
For the past 2 years, we've been working with Tow Law Millennium Primary School and Blessed John Duckett Catholic Primary School on a Eco Ambassador Programme. Please take a look at what we have achieved with the fabulous children involved in the project.
St Joseph's Eco Ambassadors
As part of an ongoing project with St Joseph's Catholic Primary School we have delivered a series of activities to encourage their engagement with the environment. We are particularly proud of our new partnership with Tanfield Railway.
NDA Eco Ambassadors
Building Self-Belief worked with a group of Year 9 students on a series of activities where the outcome was the creation of their very own school garden. Special thank you to Karbon Homes for their support with this Project.
COP26 with Consett Academy
As part of the preparation for COP26, we worked with a group of Year 12 Geography students. Both the activities and the visit to Glasgow gave them a great insight into how to improve the environment.
Together For Our Planet Garden Transformation
Our Environmental Project at Consett Academy aimed to transform a derelict piece of land into a colourful garden for the school to use for educational and wellbeing purposes. Thanks to our work with the Year 9 pupils from Consett Academy and funding from the National Lottery we have been able to successfully transform the garden..
