ABOUT


Green Influencers is a cross-phase creative ecology programme supporting children and young people from Early Years to Post-16. It builds a lifelong connection to nature, creative expression, and positive environmental action delivered by Voluntary Action North-East Lincolnshire (VANEL).


Through gardening, crafting, mindfulness, youth leadership and hands-on sustainability projects, participants follow clear pathways through curiosity and caring to advocacy, volunteering, and green futures. Shared Green Threads and Care Themes link learning across all ages, helping young people explore their own interests and see how their actions matter.


At the heart of the programme is a touring exhibition and pop-up campaign travelling between schools, family hubs and community venues. The exhibition grows as it moves, bringing together work from every age group, inviting public participation and making learning visible in everyday spaces.


Green Influencers turns creativity into climate confidence, empowering young people to shape healthier places, communities, and hopeful futures for tomorrow.
