& MORE!
Our three Meadows primary schools will all be celebrating their hard work as Young Climate Champions alongside their own green initiatives. If you are having a clear out over summer, bring along any toys still in good condition to get a new toy to go home with at Greenfield’s Toy Swap. We are also accepting a limited amount of donated toys in good condition before the festival. These can be dropped off at the Climate Hub during Toolshare opening hours (Monday 10-2pm, Friday 4-8pm at 32 Turney Street, NG2 2DF).

The Community Consultation is NOW LIVE!
We are carrying out a Community Consultation to find out if and how we can continue Green Meadows initiatives and activities beyond April 2026 (when the current Lottery funding period concludes). We are looking at how we can reach new areas and expand our impact across Nottingham.
We want to sustain the green initiatives that started within the Meadows community, from home energy advice, to the Toolshare & DIY Workshops.
We want to hear from everyone with an interest in the project - individuals and families, businesses and community organisations, other funding and support providers - existing and new.
Please fill in the survey, give us your feedback and, if you wish, we'll enter you for a £50 prize draw, and keep you informed about our future services (survey closes at midnight on Friday the 31st of October 2025; prize winners to be notified by the end of November).
