Schools
We offer a wide range of support for teachers, schools and home educators.
Here, you’ll find useful resources and ideas for lessons or clubs. These are organised under different environmental themes and linked closely to the eco-schools programme
In addition to the support on this page, you might like to check out our YouTube channel for video tips. Our Facebook group, Eco Education is a great resource for up-to-date news and to ask for advice from other educators.
The Essex Schools Young Eco Protectors is a group of Essex schools who have joined together to become more sustainable and offer support and advice. Please contact essex@ukssn.org.uk for more information if you’re interested in joining us.

PTA resources / school fundraising
With over 30,000 schools in the UK, we know the important role that schools play on the lives of the next generation and for being the heart of communities.
We want to support schools to raise money for their well needed projects but without all the waste and plastic tat! So we developed some Sustainable School fundraising resources, teamed up with Jen Gale (from Sustainableish) and carried out a webinar.
Hop over to Sustainableish now for the webinar replay alongside useful easy-to-use fundraising checklists.
