Going Green Together Panel

Going Green Together is about bringing North East VCSE organisations together to share ideas, learn from each other and take practical environmental action with support along the way. We were delighted to be invited as part of their Environmental Panel discussing important issues.

There are services to deliver, communities to support, funding to find and organisations to keep running. Adding environmental action to the list can feel like one more thing you’re somehow supposed to find the time and capacity for. Watch the event reel below to hear from the further community.

Let's GO GREEN TOGETHER.
