News on In Our Nature

We’re delighted to announce that £2.5 million of funding from The National Lottery Climate Action Fund has been awarded to support In Our Nature support people across Manchester to take climate action at home and in their communities for another three years.

This funding will be used to build on the successes of In Our Nature so far, delivering over 50 community-led projects to help residents in Manchester reduce carbon emissions, save money, and learn new skills.

“This National Lottery funding for In Our Nature presents an opportunity to make a huge difference to the everyday lives of Manchester residents. Not only will the projects tackle climate change, but many will also have the added benefit of helping people save money in the face of the rising cost of living crisis.” Samantha Nicholson, Director at Manchester Climate Change Agency

In Our Nature is an ambitious community-led programme that engages and empowers people across Manchester to take practical and meaningful action on climate change.

Our ambition? Build a movement of people taking meaningful action on climate change across Manchester.

Why? Because the solutions to climate change are #InOurNature, and change starts right here, at home, and in our communities.

In Our Nature brings together a delivery partnership made up of Manchester Climate Change Agency, Hubbub, Groundwork Greater Manchester, Amity CIC, The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, who will work alongside Manchester City Council’s Neighbourhood Team.

Thanks to the new National Lottery funding, we’ll be working throughout Autumn alongside a network of experts, individuals, and grassroots organisations to connect with communities and groups who would like to collaborate on projects in the new year.

These projects will provide direct support for diverse communities across the city and help to share inspiring stories, amplify community-led projects, and share easy tips to help people take meaningful climate action at home and in their communities.
