Great Big Green Week 2026: Small Actions, Big Impact

From 6–14 June 2026, communities across the UK will come together for Great Big Green Week, the nation's largest celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature.

The week brings together over a million people who share a common goal: creating greener, healthier and more sustainable places to live. Whether it's supporting local wildlife, reducing waste, improving green spaces or encouraging sustainable choices, every action contributes to positive change.

Great Big Green Week is about showing what can be achieved when communities work together. It's an opportunity to make a difference locally while sending a clear message to decision-makers that people across the UK want a cleaner, greener future for everyone.

How You Can Get Involved

You don't need to make huge changes to have an impact. Here are some simple ways to support your community during Great Big Green Week:

1. Join a Community Clean-Up

Help tidy local parks, streets, waterways or green spaces by taking part in a litter-picking event.

2. Support Local Nature

Plant pollinator-friendly flowers, create wildlife habitats in your garden, or volunteer with local conservation groups.

3. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Organise or attend a community swap shop, repair café or recycling initiative to help reduce waste.

4. Walk, Cycle or Use Public Transport

Choose greener ways to travel where possible and encourage others to do the same.

5. Volunteer Your Time

Many community organisations welcome volunteers for environmental projects, tree planting schemes and educational activities.

6. Start Conversations

Share ideas with friends, family and colleagues about how small lifestyle changes can benefit both people and the planet.
