Artswork start environmental journey

We are starting a journey to highlight and increase the profile of environmental work throughout the charity. 

As a youth arts charity, Artswork has a responsibility to ensure that the children and young people in our area receive creative learning, including learning about the environment. We also have a responsibility as an organisation ourselves, to better the way we work and reduce our carbon footprint, as well as advocating for and leading others in environmental responsibility.

This work also aligns with Arts Council England’s Environmental Responsibility Investment Principle. The work will include reviewing our own environmental policy and action plan; finding new ways to measure and reduce our carbon footprint; educating our own staff and our audiences about the environment and their impacts; writing about what we learn throughout this process; and helping education settings implement environmental teaching into their curriculum.
