Back in March we set up a network of volunteer Resident Sustainability Champions to help us communicate with residents and Southern Housing during the delivery of our sustainability initiatives. Here’s what has been happening so far…
Our Sustainability Champions are residents who have a passion for promoting the green agenda, especially wanting to contribute to the reduction on carbon emissions.
They are helping by inputting residents’ views on the design of our projects, communications campaigns, policies, and procedures. They are also helping source stories and quotes for our news bulletins and web pages.
We regularly hear from them about the green projects they are involved with and how they encourage other residents and the local community to participate in projects in their area.
Our current champions have already helped with our campaigns on energy, water, and carbon handprint.
In this voluntary role, residents can benefit from:
- Fulfilling a passion for addressing climate change, protecting the environment, and helping others
- Influencing the shape of our project plans, policies, and procedures
- Building up skillsets relating to sustainability and the environment
