Mobilising Community Action

Throughout 2021, WWF-UK - in collaboration with the National Lottery Climate Action Fund [NLCAF] - will be working to engage and support new and diverse audiences in 5 key cities across the UK - Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester and Sheffield. In the lead up to COP26 in Glasgow at the end of 2021 [and beyond], it is critical that we engage, spark interest in and support a diverse range of audiences in these areas if we are to effectively transition to a green economy.

For this project to be a success, we need to be present in these cities to effectively engage not only the target* audiences - diverse audiences who may not have engaged in climate actions in the past - but also local community groups, campaigners/movement builders and local institutions. With support from the Project Manager and Community Movement Building Lead at WWF-UK, we require one external 'Implementation Partner' each in Birmingham / Cardiff / Glasgow / Manchester / Sheffield to:

• help map and navigate the local landscape to help identify where our target audiences* are and how best to engage them
• engage and empower key audiences and groups through the sharing of knowledge and equipping audiences with the tools and know-how to make impactful lifestyle behavioural changes and individual / group actions [using the relevant assets created for the project]
• engage and collaborate with local artists and influencers in joining discussions and events and supporting them in advocating for behavioural change and individual / group actions
• deliver workshops and training sessions
• signpost and support with NLCAF small grant funding to relevant audiences, including helping to allocate funding to qualifying individual / group actions
• recruit and support 'community leaders' and hosting / facilitating DA film screenings and discussions
• organise events [physical and virtual]
• feedback to the Project Manager and Community Movement Building Lead [e.g. barriers, relevant audience insight and project delivery etc.]
• follow delivery guidelines to ensure all communications with external stakeholders reference both WWF-UKs and NLCAFs collaboration to make this project a reality
