Little Green Change is an award-winning, non-profit social enterprise specialising in environmental education and opportunities for primary and secondary-aged children, both directly in schools and in communities across the UK.

Our aim is to inspire, educate and facilitate action, benefitting both the planet and people. We do this through our environmental education Schools Programme, expert speaker talks, environmental events, competitions, school and community projects, magazine, and initiatives, empowering the youth of today to learn about sustainability and take action to conserve the environment, both now and in the future.

We are only able to provide our environmental education programmes and activities for free to communities and state-funded schools, reaching as many children as possible including those from under-privileged families, thanks to funding and donations we receive from businesses, funding bodies, and individuals like yourself. Our work can't continue without it. Our support us page outlines ways you can support our valuable work.

We are also able to work with corporate companies and third-sector organisations to create bespoke educational resources and events tailored to their needs.

What the award judges say

"I read the entry and was so impressed by this non-profit social enterprise that educates children about the environment through talks, competitions, projects and so much more. Initiatives like this are so important - I would ask everyone to think if they could help this winner in some way by volunteering, donating or sponsoring, so they can continue offering, for no cost, these services to local state schools.“
