As a charity, we’ve backed the Carbon Literacy movement since the beginning and have embedded it in the delivery of our services to Greater Manchester’s residents, and in the training and development of our staff and trustees. I am particularly proud of the innovative approaches we have honed to ensure Carbon Literacy is relevant to the individuals and groups that we support. To receive the Platinum award is a great honour and my thanks go to our fantastic team who made this happen.
