How to organise a Green Week
If you’re organising an event or Green Week this year, or just want to hear more about Great Big Green Week, this session has an overview of everything you need to know, including:
How to apply for Community Funding
This session focused on how to apply for funding for your community events and initiatives, including Great Big Green Week activities.
Hannah Picken, the founder of a not for profit organisation Wild Earth Movement, shared her experience of taking part in The Great Big Green Week and sourcing and applying for funding for their events.
We then heard from three funders, who shared their guidance and advice on applying for funding – Conor Rowden, Network Coordinator at Warm This Winter/Uplift UK, Perrine Rauzy, Community Manager at Action Funder and Melissa Eaglesfield, Deputy Director UK Portfolio at The National Lottery Community Fund.
Media Training with the Local Storytelling Exchange
Getting media coverage is a fantastic way to tell your story, boost local awareness and ensure that as many people as possible in your community hear about your event or local Green Week. It might sound daunting, but this training will provide tips and guidance to make it easier.
We’ve teamed up with the Local Storytelling Exchange to run this session to equip you with the fundamental knowledge and tools to achieve local media hits and feel confident engaging with local media in the run up to Great Big Green Week.
This training session covers the importance of local and regional media, guidance for engaging with the media, including interview tips, finding journalists, writing press releases, and more. There will be a chance to get into smaller groups to share your plans for Great Big Green Week so we can support you with developing your story for local media.
