Could you be just the person we're looking for...?

Interested in doing something practical about Climate Change? We are looking for people to help give out leaflets on our stalls, talk about climate change to the public, and go to lobby their MPs to ask them to support a tough Climate Change Bill. Would you like to help?

We've just launched a new Waste and Recycling campaign. We need people to help us with research into recycling policies, talking to the public about the links between recycling and energy and launching practical initiatives to recycle more. Would you like to get involved?

Having launched our celebrated Real Food Guide website we are looking for volunteers to help talking to the organisations in the Guide and finding and researching new ones to join. Could you help us with our Real Food campaign?

Having written a celebrated report on sustainable transport in Longsight we are now working on a new sustainable transport education project. We need help designing publicity materials, doing research into sustainable transport, and liaising with schools and the public. Can you see yourself helping?

Whatever your background or walk of life, we will find ways of helping you put your skills and interest in a healthy environment for us all to good use. As an active member, you might find yourself doing any of the following:

If you'd like to get involved, we hold full group meetings on the second Tuesday of every month at 7pm in the Green Fish Resource Centre on Oldham Street (on the right, just after Hilton Street if you're walking from Piccadilly Gardens), and sub-group meetings for each of our campaigns throughout the rest of the month. See our events calendar for the exact date of the next meeting.
