Engagement

Leadership
Over 140 young people from 20 schools have shown leadership after participating in our programme, from participating in local government climate strategy to running for public office.

Inclusion
Over 49 of the 184 schools participating in our initiatives had above average rates of pupil premium allocations.
Our impact – an external perspective

“The Climate Voices II project has extended networks and demonstrated the potential for young people to be actively engaged in climate action. The approach adopted has been highly successful, resulting in considerable momentum for change among young people.”
