Go Gwyrdd is a five year project supporting young people with disabilities and those from ethnically minoritised communities to explore, experience and secure roles that help protect the planet.
We want to partner with like minded green employers across North Wales to create meaningful, long lasting change — strengthening businesses, opening doors for young people, and growing a fairer, greener local economy.
Not sure if your business is ‘green’?
A green minded organisation is any business that helps reduce carbon or waste, protects nature, or supports communities to adapt to climate change. And even if your organisation isn’t green, the role might be. Still not sure? Contact GoGwyrdd@rcs-wales.co.uk.
