Organise a Go Green Day in your workplace, school or community to change childhoods and change lives!
Pick a Friday (or any day that suits you) and go green to change childhoods and change lives across the UK.
We’ve got lots of inspiration, ideas and exciting downloadable resources below. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to Go Green!
Need inspiration? Here are some ways you can go green!
Dressing in green? Iconic!
Whether you go all out in head-to-toe green, rock a green t-shirt, or add a stylish green accessory, your fashion choices can help make a difference! Show off your green look and encourage donations or fundraising to support us.
Make some green-tastic bakes
Channel your inner Mary Berry and host a green-themed bake sale or afternoon tea! Feeling competitive? Why not host a bake-off and put your baking skills to the test to crown the best green inspired bake.
Green-ify your space
Transform your space, desk, or office with fun green decorations like bunting and balloons. You can even go digital with a green-themed email signature or Zoom background. Why not turn your decorations into a fundraising challenge—every donation adds more green to your space!
Mint condition raffle
Host a raffle or silent auction with green-themed items only! Think plants, green accessories or even food and drink – the options are endless.
