Want to learn more about what councils are doing to combat the climate and ecological crises? Want to help communities to get their council to take Climate Action seriously? Interested in gaining experience of local policy, initiatives and best practice?
Climate Emergency UK’s free, online, 4-week Local Climate Training Programme is the place to start!
Councils have the power and influence over around 30% of emissions in their local area. Therefore, they are uniquely placed to make a real impact on emissions within their area. Following the success of the second Council Climate Action Scorecards last year, Climate Emergency UK is looking to create the third edition of the Action Scorecards. We know that councils are listening to the Scorecards results and taking more effective action. The average score in the 2025 Action Scorecards increased by 7 percent points. Now, we’re looking for volunteers to help us create the 2027 Action Scorecards, tracking the progress that has been made, and scoring all UK councils on their climate action.
Our workshops, alongside the practical experience of assessing local climate action, are designed to help you develop your knowledge, skills and experience around local climate policy and action.
Your assessments will help create the 2027 Council Climate Action Scorecards - helping your community and other people around the UK understand how well councils are tackling the climate crisis, the progress that has been made, who’s doing well and what is possible. During the programme you will be part of a cohort of people (maximum 50) who share your passion for environmental justice and local action.
The Training Programme will help you understand:
- The powers local authorities have to tackle the climate crisis.
- The actions local authorities are taking to tackle the climate crisis.
- What good council climate action looks like.
We will also have workshops from educational, policy and campaigning experts to give you a strong foundation in local climate action. Last year this included speakers from the Climate Change Committee, Lancaster City Council and Friends of the Earth. Those on the training programme will be able to manage their time but must be able to make the mandatory dates, listed below. Both cohorts will be 4 weeks and have the exact same programme of events. While these will be part of the training it will be up to you to make the session, although some of these sessions will be recorded. A full schedule will be sent out 1 week before the training starts.
The Programme Dates:
We are running two cohorts of the training programme:
The First Cohort will run from: 7th April until 12th May 2026.
You will need to be free for the following mandatory dates:
- Scorecards Volunteer Inductions:
You will need to attend one induction session on either Tuesday 7th April 2026 or Thursday 9th April 2026 from 5:30 to 6:30pm. - Scorecards Scoring Training:
You will only need to attend only one of the training sessions but please keep both of the evenings free until you are allocated a Scorecards section, which will determine which session you need to attend: either Tuesday 14th April 2026 or Thursday 16th April 2026 from 5:30 to 7pm. - Policy Programme Course sessions will run on:
Tuesday 28th April from 4.30-6pm - Introduction to councils
Thursday 30th April from 4.30-6pm - Guest Speaker
Tuesday 5th May from 4.30-6pm - Climate Powers and Policies part 1
Thursday 7th May from 4.30-6pm - Climate Powers and Policies part 2 - Final Policy Programme Session & Certificate Ceremony
12th May 2026 from 4.30-6pm - Securing change at the local level
Who is this Programme for?
In order to apply you must be:
- Aged over 18
- Able to commit to approx. 15-20 hours a week for four weeks
- Based anywhere in the UK
- Have reliable internet access and access to a computer
- You do not need to have previous environmental related experience or a relevant degree.
Note: We will not accept current Councillors or Officers. Parish/Town councillors or staff are welcome to apply.
Other than that, anyone can apply to be on this programme. We are particularly looking for people who:
- Are passionate about tackling climate change and sustainability
- Have an interest in supporting climate action in their local communities
- Are interested in a career in environmental policy or advocacy (or just enjoy this as a hobby!)
- Able to use Google Docs and SLACK, although you will receive training in both.
Each cohort will be limited to 50 places and we expect to fill the programme. Your acceptance onto the programme will be confirmed once you have attended the Induction
If you are not able to commit to the training programme but would still like to be involved in scoring local authority climate action then please visit our page on becoming a Volunteer Assessor.

Our vision for volunteering
Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
The difference you will make to cats and people
Without the passionate and committed teams of volunteers across Cats Protection we wouldn’t be able to help the thousands of cats and kittens each year that rely on us for help. Life in a rescue environment is never ideal for any cat compared to a loving home. Our cat adoption team leaders support cat homing and as part of this they may lead a team of volunteer home visitors who collectively play an important part in matching our feline friends with their new families. Our cat adoption team leaders support their team of volunteers in all aspects of their roles, making sure our volunteers are happy, confident and supported.
You can expect us to
- Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
- Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
- Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
- Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
What we need from you
You’ll be:
- Acting as the main point of contact within the team for cat adoption enquiries via email/telephone and social media
- Supporting the adoption process through either homefinder questionnaires or a small team of home visitors
- Liaising closely with other volunteers to ensure information on cats being helped is correct and up to date
- Following up on any post-adoption queries
- Play an active part in the volunteer committee, being part of the team leading on cat adoption information and updates
- Collaborating with the cat welfare team leader to ensure the highest standards of cat care are applied in line with Cats Protection policy and procedures
Time expectation
The cat adoption team leader role is vital within our busy volunteer teams. Our current volunteers spend around 10 to 12 hours per week in this flexible role, which can be shared by more than one volunteer if required.
You may be just the volunteer we’ve been looking for!

Lead Me Back Foundation addresses the barriers to quality education through an integrated, child-centered approach that responds to the realities children face both inside and outside the classroom.
Increasing household poverty in Zambia continues to push children out of school. For many, attending class does not guarantee learning; classroom hunger, poor access to basic health services, and climate shocks like droughts and floods create a cycle of vulnerability. Without basic supplies, nutrition, or health support, children are often too unwell or unprepared to engage meaningfully in their education.
Lead Me Back Foundation stabilizes the learning environment by addressing education, nutrition, and health as interconnected needs:
-
Guardian for A Year: We provide essential school supplies—including uniforms, shoes, and learning materials—to help children attend school with dignity.
-
Tummy2Class: Our school feeding program tackles classroom hunger, ensuring children have the nutrition they need to concentrate and succeed.
-
Ubumi Care Clinics: We strengthen access to basic health services through screenings and health education, reducing absenteeism caused by untreated illness.
By removing these practical barriers, we ensure that the most vulnerable students are better positioned to stay in school and build a brighter future.
We are looking for passionate Resource Mobilizers to help us lead one of the most important fundraising campaigns in our journey.
We have been selected to participate in the New Africa Fund Campaign 2026. We have 30 days to raise USD 5,000 and every dollar raised will be matched. This means your effort can unlock USD 10,000 for the children in our education, nutrition, and health programmes.
Behind every dollar raised is a child who stays in school because they received learning materials. A child who concentrates in class because they had a nutritious meal. A child who avoids preventable illness because of early health screening. Your role will be to help make those outcomes possible.
You will mobilize your networks, initiate conversations with potential donors, share impact stories, and help us build momentum around the campaign. You will not simply ask for money. You will advocate for access, equity, and opportunity for children who are often overlooked.
This role is ideal for someone who understands that fundraising is leadership. It is influence. It is the ability to translate compassion into tangible support. By volunteering in this role, you help turn a 30 day campaign into long term impact.
When resources are mobilized strategically, children are not just supported. They are given a fair chance to thrive.
