Meet the In Our Nature Steering Group
We’re creating a movement, or a ‘Community Coalition’ – a wide-ranging group of people who are taking action on climate in a way that is meaningful to them: by participating in projects, attending events, and engaging with us via our newsletter and Learning Hub.
The Coalition Steering Group is a self-selecting diverse group of 12 residents from across Manchester, who meet every two months to make collective decisions about future activity and drive forward more action.
The group receives regular programme updates, and works with us to co-create opportunities to:
Widen participation and increase programme impact, by ensuring that community voices are represented in the programme and in citywide consultation work
Enable community groups to connect and collaborate
Support the development of more climate projects by sharing learning and best practice
The group also benefits from training by programme delivery partners, including tailored group support from In Our Nature partner, Amity. Each member of the Steering Group brings their own unique set of skills and valuable knowledge about their local communities. We are grateful to the group for their enthusiasm and commitment to making Manchester a greener, healthier, more connected city.
