The Great Big Green Week is one of the UK's biggest celebrations of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature.

Conservation organisations, charities, community groups and individuals across the country are taking part in the Great Big Green Week from June 10th to 18th and Cheltenham is no exception.

Vision 21, Planet Cheltenham, CK Futures, Cheltenham XR, Global Footsteps, Foodloose, Clean Air Cheltenham, Cheltenham Climate Vigil, Cheltenham Borough Council and the School House Café are organisations all working hard in Cheltenham to protect the planet.
