VONNE has been funded to continue our Going Green Together project from 2024 to 2027, thanks to the support of The National Lottery Community Fund, County Durham Community Foundation, and Tees Foundation. This follows a successful pilot which supported over 200 organisations across the sector to become environmentally sustainable and take part in climate action.
Going Green Together is a partnership between VONNE and the VONNE Climate Action Alliance, Genee, SmartCarbon, Cumbria CVS and Cumbria Action for Sustainability. Launching 2024, our new programme will be bringing you new events, resources, and training opportunities to embed the environment at the heart of what you do and ensure a greener, fairer future for your communities.

Testimonials
[Going Green Together] has helped provide tools and focus for us to take our climate action ambitions to the next level. Genee and Smart Carbon have been incredibly helpful and we feel so much more confident as to how we can move forward positively with our plan for net zero.
Meadow Well Connected
The training and guidance we have received so far has been invaluable... The knowledge we have gained will vastly change the way we look at our impact, and I can’t recommend the programme enough.
balletLORENT
The chance to speak to peers running a broad range of businesses has contributed to a sense of positivity and overall optimism about the nature of the work… I urge any small business interested in accessing this opportunity to grasp it and jump on board.
