Dear Edward,
The UK’s
biggest celebration of
community action for
people, climate and nature
is nearly here. With just
three days to go until
Great Big Green Week,
how are you taking part?
Whether you’re
hosting an event, going
green for the week at your
place of work, or
looking for something to do
with friends and family,
we’ve got some
final ideas for you. However
you decide to take part, you
will be part
of the biggest mass moment
for climate in the UK!

How can I get
involved?
Check
out what’s happening
near you 🌱
From repair cafes
to cooking workshops, film
screenings to gardening
volunteering
sessions, town markets to
community festivals -
there’s something for
everyone!
Take a look at our
Great Big Green Map to find
an event near you. Don’t
forget to bring
your friends and family with
you - and tell others you
know to find
out what’s happening near
them!

Download
the Wildling App
and go for a walk during
the week!
We're
thrilled to be partnering
with Wildling this year, a
free to use app
that gives you access to:
🌳 over 2,000 nature
locations across the UK
📖 a weekly nature
magazine
🦆 wildlife
identification guides
☀️
seasonal activity ideas
Use
the app during Great Big
Green Week to find
somewhere you can get out
in nature with friends,
family, neighbours - or
solo!
Some of our member
properties and reserves,
including National Trust and
RSPB are already
featured on the Wildling
app, so you may find they
are having a Great
Big Green Week celebration
when you arrive.

Are you hosting an event?
If you’re hosting
an event or activity taking
place between 6th to 14th
June, but
haven’t put it on our Great
Big Green Map yet, now is
your chance!
Next week, thousands of
people from across the

When
people come Together
for Good
in their communities, they
create real,
practical benefits - for
local places, for nature,
for climate and for
our shared future. From
small, everyday actions to
bigger community
events, Great Big Green
Week makes that collective
action
visible.
The
more action that happens
locally, the bigger the
national impact - we hope
you’ll be a part of
the Great Big Green Week
with us!

Warm wishes,
Jaz, Communities Manager
