GreenPrints
GreenPrints is an England-wide volunteering programme which offers funding and practical support for greenspace improvement projects carried out by young people aged 16-25.
This exciting new programme has been developed using the experience and expertise of five major, national organisations:
- SITA Trust and ‘V’ will provide funding over a two-year period for green space improvement projects designed, implemented and evaluated by 16-25 year old volunteers
- SITA Trust will also use their experience and resources to manage the distribution of funds
- BTCV and the regional Wildlife Trusts will support the practical delivery of the projects by providing mentor-support for volunteers
- The BBC will include the programme within their national Breathing Places campaign
GreenPrints has two schemes:
GreenPrints Events
Over the next two years there will be around 600 GreenPrints Events across England. Events will last for one or two days and provide an opportunity for young people to simply turn up and take part to help improve the local environment.
Details of events and how to get involved will soon be advertised at www.sitatrust.org.uk
GreenPrints Flagships
GreenPrints Flagships provide grants of up to £10,000 and practical mentor support for longer-term projects designed, implemented and evaluated by 16-25 year old volunteers.
