What exactly do we do?

We teach children about climate science and inspire them and their families to take action. We do this by sending trained volunteers into schools to deliver workshops about carbon literacy and the future beyond fossil fuels.

A recent report in The Lancet showed that 60% of UK children feel anxious about climate change and 55% feel angry. Only 24% feel optimistic. Climate change is not on the National Curriculum and research from Oxfam and YouGov shows that while 69% of teachers feel it should be taught more, 75% feel they haven’t received adequate training to do so.

What's the vision?

We aim to give children the knowledge and motivation to get involved with the issue and discover that climate action can be fun. Through this we also aim to make children less anxious about climate change, by giving them a message of hope and positivity.

We've already achieved so much

So far, our volunteers have guided over 8200 students through our in-depth carbon literacy programme.

We started off small and now we need your support to reach more students. We've got lots of volunteers and schools who want to welcome them. Many of our volunteers are leaders in their fields - scientists, journalists, sustainability experts. We're currently working with primary schools across London, from Croydon in the south to Waltham Forest in the north. We currently reach c.1500 students each school term and we're now looking to expand to other cities across the UK.

Our volunteers have energy, expertise and a great set of activities to engage children. We get them thinking about climate change in a fun, positive way, and taking small bite-size actions that feel manageable and worthwhile.
