Climate change

The Salvation Army is standing with over 130 organisations to call for climate action for the sake of all the things that matter most.

Great Big Green Week 2022

You can find out the latest information about Great Big Green Week from The Climate Coalition. Please do let us know if your corps and community has anything planned!

The first Great Big Green Week took place between 18 – 26 September 2021, and was the largest event for climate and nature ever seen in the UK.

The Great Big Green Week saw over 5000 community-led events; bat walks and bake offs, festivals and football matches, murals and MPs in EVs, seaweed foraging and school assemblies and everything in between.

More than 200 Local Green Weeks – Great Big Green Week community hubs – celebrated local activity, raised the profile of climate change and showed why climate action is relevant to community and local decision makers.

Together we called on politicians to raise their ambition and champion action on climate change.

Join us again in September 2022 for a greater, bigger, greener week.
