This is what some of them say about us

Student Switch Off Ambassador

University of Bath

I found that I can do more in my daily life and encourage others to do more about the environment via saving energy as much as possible.

Isra, Student Home Energy Auditor (Homes Fit For Study)

Student at Imperial College London

I found the training extremely helpful (I would say close to life changing)!

Student participant, Learning Academy training

I felt the training was comprehensive and gave all the information required in such a short time frame. [The most valuable part was] building on my knowledge of sustainable food and creating a product for sale.

For Good participating organisation

We have been working in the same way for a long time and needed to be challenged - it was good to have someone from the outside come at it from a different direction.
