Climate assembly

We can offer an assembly on the Council's Net Zero goals and the impact of climate change on St Helens.

NetZero@sthelens.gov.uk

Climate pledges

We provide a lesson exploring how climate change is affecting St Helens Borough, the actions the Council is taking in response and the role your school already plays.
Following the session, students will have the opportunity to create their own climate pledges inspired by what they've learned.

Biodiversity

We deliver an engaging, age-appropriate introduction to biodiversity, exploring its meaning and key functions. Sessions can include optional species ID workshops or bioblitz sessions. We can also highlight how your school supports biodiversity through your climate action plans and provide extra information on activities such as composting, bug hotels, and allotments.

If this would benefit your class, please get in touch to arrange a session. Let us know any additions you'd like, and we'll tailor it to your school's needs.
