We aim to raise awareness and so increase interest and involvement in sustainability. We connect people and communities, supporting individual well-being, community enterprises and businesses in order to nurture resilience. Our volunteer Champions work within their communities to promote our aims.
The Dorset Green Living Project is designed to help people regain hope via positive actions to combat climate change. Neighbourhood groups meet up to explore the helpful tips provided in a free, specially designed manual. The project is designed to help and encourage individuals to reduce carbon emissions and to face challenges together by sharing resources and skills locally (e.g. lending tools and lift sharing). Not only does it have a positive impact on the planet, people’s health and well-being but also households are estimated to save around £550 per year.
The first groups have recently completed the project and the results and the project guidebook can be viewed on the website.
