Great Big Green Week returns from 6–14 June, and once again we're offering funding to help local groups run events or activities that spark interest and action around climate and nature in their communities.

This hands-on workshop is for community organisations that want to feel more confident using local media and social platforms to get their message out there. You’ll learn how to craft strong, people-centred stories about your work, pitch them to local journalists, and use social media creatively and safely to extend your reach. Through practical exercises, you’ll leave with a clear story idea, useful tools, and a simple next step to start sharing your message.

The session is led by Local Storytelling Exchange, specialists in helping communities tell authentic stories of the green transition. With extensive experience working alongside grassroots groups, they focus on amplifying local voices and showing that meaningful change is already happening — led by people like you.

This workshop is delivered with thanks to funding from UKRI, in association with the JUST Centre.
