We encourage adults and children to change their
behaviour by helping them understand and appreciate how individual
actions at home, at school and at work can make a real difference
to the global environment. We educate people to act more
responsibly with regard to energy, waste and water and provide
residents with advice on improving the environmental performance of
their homes. We train people to become advocates for tackling
climate change and support local charities to carry out carbon
footprint assessments and draw up environmental action plans.
In school, we support and train teachers to deliver education for sustainable development and help children learn about their responsibilities to the environment, for example by involving them in improving the environmental performance of their school buildings and grounds. We also help businesses, public bodies and voluntary organisations to reduce their carbon footprint by improving their energy and resource efficiency and reducing waste.

| Groundwork is tackling fuel poverty amongst older people and other vulnerable residents by providing home visit and free practical support services to deprived neighbourhoods in Leeds. Trained staff offer free one to one advice and support to encourage energy efficiency and address other environmental issues in the home. Increasing insulation and reducing draughts not only keeps homes warmer, it also reduces fuel bills and carbon emissions. |
