Applications open for a year of environmental support

Applications are open for Become Green Together, a programme supporting the VCSE sector across Cumbria to become environmentally sustainable, from the 1st of April to the 31st May.

Become Green Together is a unique programme offering twelve months of support to VCSE organisations of all sizes and areas of activity to face the challenges of the climate crisis. Participants gain support from expert environmental consultants, accreditation with the nationally recognised Investors in the Environment framework, and tools to monitor and reduce their carbon footprint. Forty five organisations are already taking part in Become Green Together, learning alongside each other within a diverse network of peers.

Access to the programme is heavily subsidised thanks to the support of the National Lottery Community Fund. Spaces on the programme are limited, so be sure to sign up early to avoid disappointment. You can read more and apply on the Going Green Together website.
