What made this workshop especially inspiring was the National Lottery’s commitment to bringing together stakeholders from across the UK to collectively explore what a future environmentally focused funding programme could look like. Through conversations grounded in community-driven change, the workshop explored how to meaningfully support people and places working to strengthen resilience, and build more sustainable futures
What stood out for us:
The National Lottery’s inclusive approach, inviting a diverse range of organisations from every part of the UK to feed into the programme design
The opportunity for NIRN to contribute Northern Ireland’s perspective on how reuse, repair and circular behaviours can support environmental regeneration
As an organisation working to normalise reuse and repair across communities and inspiring people to live more circular lifestyles through education, collaboration and communication we are encouraged by the National Lottery’s commitment to involving community voices and practical, circular solutions in shaping future funding.
