As part of the Climate for Communities Programme, we will offer support to 10 organisations to complete the Investors in the Environment (iiE) Green Champions Certification and implement sustainability initiatives within their organisations.

About the Green Champion Course

This short online course (4–5 hours) is designed for individuals in any job role and within any size of organisation. No prior sustainability experience is required. The course includes free templates and resources, making it easy to follow and apply in real-world settings.

Participants can complete the self-paced modules at their convenience and gain practical knowledge on:

  • Conducting basic environmental audits
  • Using data to track environmental performance and support decision-making
  • Developing action plans and setting realistic sustainability targets
  • Cutting carbon and reducing waste using practical tools
  • Engaging staff and co-workers in sustainability efforts and communications

Alongside completing the course, each Green Champion will:

  • Participate in 8 peer support meetings (a couple of hours each), facilitated by Community Works
  • Form a small internal working group (staff, trustees, and/or volunteers) to develop and implement your action plan throughout the year collaboratively

If your organisation is interested in this opportunity or you’d like to learn more, please get in touch by emailing:  magda@communityworks.org.uk by Thursday, 4th July 2025.

We look forward to supporting your sustainability journey!
