SUPPORTING SUSTAINABILITY
Great Big Green Week
THE CLIMATE COALITION & FRAN FREEMAN
Letting children take the lead on climate and nature The climate and nature crisis can feel overwhelming, but all around the UK families, schools and communities are showing that, together, we can take action and build a greener, fairer future. That’s what Great Big Green Week is all about. Taking place from 7th-15th June 2025, it is the UK’s biggest celebration of community action for nature and our climate. This year, we are inviting schools, families and young people to be right at the heart of it. Whether it’s turning an unloved patch of land into a wildlife haven, setting up a school swap shop or planting pollinator-friendly flowers, children and young people are brilliant ambassadors
for change. They bring creativity, curiosity and energy to the challenge and inspire the adults around them to act too. This year’s theme is ‘Let’s Swap Together for Good’. It’s about taking simple, positive actions like swapping plastic for reusables, fast fashion for hand-me-downs or car journeys for walking or cycling and making them part of everyday life. The Climate Coalition has free, ready-to-use resource packs available to help schools and families get involved, including ideas for activities, lesson plans and assembly guides. Whether you’re a parent, carer or teacher, you can bring Great Big Green Week to life with the children in your care.
By taking part, families and schools will be joining a national movement of over a million people, showing that positive change starts close to home and that the next generation is leading the way.
