Training

Climate Action Leeds has a range of training and education opportunities available to wider movements across Leeds. Below is a form to help us understand what your training needs are - if you would like to request training from us please fill out the form and a member of our team will be in touch.

Our training is delivered by a variety of people - some are Climate Action Leeds staff, some are volunteers, and some represent partner organisations. We want to deliver training that will enable members of Climate Action Leeds and the wider social justice movement to meet our core goals: of creating a zero carbon, nature friendly, socially just Leeds by the 2030s.

We want to focus on delivering free training to voluntary, community, or low-income, like-minded organisations. If you are a well-funded organisation or a business, please make this clear on the form below - in this case we may ask for some payment.
