Connecting people to share ideas, celebrate local action, and inspire positive change.
Our Connecting Communities roadshow is back this May and June 2026, bringing free, drop-in events to communities right across Northern Ireland. It’s all about celebrating community spirit while supporting simple, positive environmental action close to home.
These events are a chance to come together, meet like-minded people, share ideas, and get inspired. Whether you’re looking to connect more with your local community or just want a few practical tips and fresh ideas, Connecting Communities is a great place to start.
What to Expect:
- Meet organisations leading environmental projects and offering volunteering opportunities
- Discover funding and support available for environmental projects
- Chat with like-minded people and share ideas
- Connect with your local Field Officer and find out how they can support your work
- Drop in anytime - no formal schedule, just friendly conversations
