When thinking about taking climate action, it can be hard to know where to start. What can you do to have the most impact?
That’s why H&F Council are offering organisations free use of a carbon tracking app. This has been designed to measure, track and report on the carbon emissions across your organisation. The app will help to clearly identify actions that need to be taken to lower carbon emissions.

With this in mind, the British Red Cross community education team are working in partnership with Aviva on a Covid-19 recovery campaign.

- Online and telephone workshops
- Self-directed learning through online education resources
- Printed activity packs (available in English, Farsi, Arabic, Tigrinya and Pashto)
- Teaching resources
