BIG funds hundreds of green causes throughout the UK, which all do incredible work to improve their local environments and help fight climate change.
Climate Week provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate the achievements of these projects and encourage people to join in by volunteering. As well as making an important contribution to the future and your local area, research has shown that volunteering can help to increase skills, confidence and self-esteem.
