Climate change - schools
Partnerships work with schools: children and young people
Voice Forum
In partnership with young people from Hinckley and Bosworth we have produced resources for primary and secondary schools with suggestions to help them to become more eco-friendly.
For more information about our youth voice work, or if you are a young person aged 11 to 19 and want to get involved, please complete our children and young person contact form
Schools
As part of our primary, secondary and SEND school offers we signpost to climate change workshops. This includes recycling, composting and reducing food waste workshops.
We engage with our schools in the borough to see what climate change activity they are already taking part in and how we can support with this.
We have organised litter picks where children and young people from schools and Scout and Brownie groups within Hinckley and Bosworth have assisted us. Our most recent litter pick took place in September 2026 during Recycle Week 2026. We will be in touch with schools and use our social media platforms to share details of any future events we are organising.
We also have a litter volunteer scheme and have packs that schools and groups can borrow to organise their own litter picks.
For more information about our work in schools, or if you would like to book one of our workshops, please contact us: children and young person contact form
Funding opportunities
Funding opportunities that schools can access are sent out via email.
Apps
New apps that we become aware of are shared with schools. Some apps you might find useful are:
- Too good to go – your local shops advertise food that is most likely going to be thrown out to help fight food waste
- My Footprint: Climate & Nature - reduce your impact with climate and nature actions from WWF
- Vinted - Buy and sell preloved clothes, toys and homeware
