What is it?

Currently being co-designed with the sector, the toolkit is focusing on achievable, low-cost steps that fit alongside day-to-day delivery pressures. It brings together simple tools, templates, guidance and local case studies to help organisations reduce their environmental impact, strengthen commissioning readiness and build confidence around climate action.

Flexible, accessible and rooted in Bolton's context, the Bolton Eco Toolkit helps the VCSE sector play an active role in creating a healthier, fairer and more sustainable future for people and place.
