We are back! Going Green Together is launching our second phase of environmental support for voluntary groups, charities and social enterprises across the North East.

We are holding launch events across the North East, with this being the first, where you can find out more about Going Green Together, hear from our partners and past participants and meet other organisations in your area interested in environmental action. This event will include time for networking and mid morning refreshments will be provided.
