Inspiring the Next Generation of Change Makers

Help us bring environmental education to schools that need it most

At ecoACTIVE, we believe in the power of education to create lasting environmental change. Every child deserves the chance to learn about the planet and how to care for it—no matter where they live or how much their school can afford.

That’s why we’re launching our Green Match Fund campaign, and we need your help.

Why this matters

Now more than ever, we face urgent challenges:
🌍 The climate crisis is accelerating.
🌱 Nature is under threat.
🏫 Schools are trying to navigate sustainability with limited resources.
💼 Young people need green skills to thrive in tomorrow’s job market.

Our work addresses all of this—through fun, hands-on workshops that connect learners to the natural world and empower them to take action.

But too often, schools in deprived areas can’t afford these vital learning experiences. That’s where the Green Match Fund comes in.

Campaign Overview

With the support of the Green Match Fund and the generous backing of OVO Foundation, we’re aiming to:

✅ Deliver free or subsidised sustainability workshops to schools most in need
✅ Support schools in creating and implementing Climate Action Plans
✅ Provide green skills and sustainability training to college students
✅ Mentor teachers so they can confidently lead sustainability efforts in their schools

Where the money is going

Your donations will directly fund:

  • Experiential workshops on topics like urban ecology, energy and climate, air pollution, and waste

  • Free training for students in further and higher education

  • Ongoing support and mentoring for teachers and school leaders

  • Practical, local environmental action led by young people

Our Impact So Far

In 2024–2025, we:
🌱 Delivered 90 Earth Education workshops
👧👦 Engaged 2,503 young people and 364 adults
🏙️ Worked in 10 London boroughs
🌍 Reached even further through webinars and partnerships with universities in Essex and Dublin

Topics ranged from food growing and water scarcity to sustainable travel and green careers—giving young people the tools to shape a greener future.

What we’re making possible

With your support, young people will:

  • Learn green skills and environmental knowledge in a fun, engaging way

  • Take part in practical action that leaves a lasting impact on their communities

  • Discover career pathways in the green sector

  • Inspire others to take action and shift behaviours

And teachers will feel more equipped to lead the charge—developing climate action plans and embedding sustainability across school life.

Be a part of the change

Your donation, big or small, helps break down barriers and open doors for the next generation of change makers.

🌿 Together, we can build a fairer, greener future—one workshop at a time.

Thank you to everyone supporting this campaign, especially the incredible OVO Foundation. We’re excited for what we can achieve together.
