Welcome to your resource hub! 

Here, you'll find all the video recordings, slides, guides, and templates presented during our series of workshops and webinars. These sessions, hosted for all Arts Council-funded organisations, kicked off with an introductory workshop. Following that, we delved into practical climate action policy and plan development webinars. As we progress, we will cover key topics such as impact measurement and nature and biodiversity through focused sessions. 

Stay tuned, as this page will be updated as the programme continues!
