Engaging young people in understanding the impacts of Climate Change

Young people will be learning about the negative impact on the Environment and how they can make small changes to reduce this

By having access to at least 3 places in nature each month young people will improve their mental health and be physically active.

Young people will introduce at least 1 energy saving device, food growing solution or recycling system at home.

Connections will be made to at least 3 local environmental specialists/community organisations and young people will be inspired to carry out at least 2 environmentally friendly activities with these trusted adults support.

By hosting at least 5 podcast sessions young people can educate the wider community about environmental issues.

Being involved in this project young people will report they have reduced their phone usage by 50% each week they attend activities.

Overall this project will help young people have a better understanding of climate change and environmental issues.

What The Community Says

"We met Synergy in 2020 during COVID lockdowns and they helped us to secure some grant funding for our Woodland Retreat project in Binbrook. As a result of this they have been bringing young people to the woods to experience bushcraft skills, off grid living, archery, navigation skills every Saturday! They have created a really wonderful camp for young people here and are a huge part of the community. It's great to see so many young people from deprived areas accessing and enjoying natural woodlands and the Lincolnshire Wolds, something they would not have done without the support of Synergy."
