Frequently Asked Questions
How much time does it take?
Going Green Together is designed to fit around your organisation. There is no set timetable, and you can work through the Sustainability Pathway at a pace that suits your capacity and priorities. Whether you want to take one small step or develop a longer-term action plan, we're here to support you.
Is there a cost?
Joining Going Green Together is free for eligible VCSE organisations across the North East. Some additional opportunities delivered by our partners may have a subsidised cost, but we'll always be clear about any fees before you sign up.
Who can join?
Going Green Together is open to voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations based in the North East of England. Whether you're just starting your sustainability journey or already making progress, there's support available to help you take the next step.
We're only a small organisation. Do we need lots of time or resources to take part?
Not at all. We know many VCSE organisations have limited capacity and competing priorities. That's why Going Green Together focuses on practical, achievable actions that work for organisations of all sizes. We'll help you identify realistic next steps based on your organisation's time, resources and ambitions.
Do we need to have experience in environmental sustainability?
No. Many organisations join when they're just getting started. We'll help you understand where you are now and identify practical next steps that are right for your organisation.
Can we choose which opportunities we take part in?
Yes. The programme is flexible, so you can access the resources, events and support that are most relevant to your organisation and your goals.
