The education sector has a vital role in raising public awareness to the importance of valuing where we live and more importantly how we live; why we don't drop litter, why we care about where we live.

To offer as much support to schools as possible Love Where You Live has developed a special series of educational resources in conjunction with Eco-Schools.

Aimed at teachers with children and young people aged 5-16, our Love Where You Live Educational Resources, include a range of free lesson ideas, assembly ideas, and challenges that link with the national curriculum and Eco-Schools Awards in creative ways.

Sign up: Get involved in our Schools programme

Start using our free resources and sign up your school to our Love Where You Live campaign.  By signing up to the principles to improve school areas and local communities and by making a pledge you will be able to develop projects that fit with the Eco-Schools Awards and the curriculum. As a Love Where You Live school you can download the logo to use on your school website or letterhead.

Your pledge:

Your pledge does not need to be complicated. It could be to use some of our lesson ideas or to develop your own and organise a tidy up of a litter-strewn area, clean up graffiti or plant new trees to brighten a neglected patch of ground, the benefits for both school and the local community can be huge.

Events like Big Tidy Ups are fun and a great way of bringing families and communities together.
