This is a new project delivered by Cruse Scotland which will increase climate change learning among our network of volunteers across Edinburgh and the communities they live in. Our Cruse Climateers project will give our team of 50 bereavement support volunteers and staff in Edinburgh access to training which will:
increase their learning about climate change and its impact on our communities
provide knowledge and practical advice on how to volunteer for Cruse Scotland in a more environmentally sustainable way, e.g. use of online delivery to reduce travel to sessions, paperless communication and resources.
provide practical advice on how to lead a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle and contribute to Edinburgh’s Net Zero target , e.g. use of public transport, reduce/reuse/recycle
encourage and support our volunteers to pass on this knowledge and advice to the communities they live in.
We would use the money to pay the costs for a Trainer to design the course and deliver it to our Edinburgh based volunteers and staff over 3 half days using Zoom/Teams.
Location: We have an office in Leith but our project will benefit people across the city of Edinburgh.
Proposed on behalf of: Cruse Scotland is the nation’s leading provider of free bereavement support services which due to the Covid-19 pandemic and cost-of-living crisis have never been more needed. Our team of 250 community based volunteers enable us to support 5000 people every year across Scotland who are struggling to cope. In Edinburgh, our team of 40 local volunteers provide listening support, advice and counselling to 500 children and adults annually. Our support aims to help people understand and process their grief, improve their wellbeing and get their lives back on track.
