Young People's Trust for the Environment

The Young People's Trust for the Environment is a charity which aims to encourage young people's understanding of the environment and the need for sustainability.

With climate change being such a big issue for us all, there has probably never been a more important time for environmental education. The next generation is going to inherit a huge array of environmental challenges, so it is vital that they are equipped with the knowledge they need to look after the planet for the future.

To meet these challenges, we provide free environmental information and services for schools and young people. Our services include free environmental talks in schools, a free information service, free membership for schools, residential courses and holidays and environmental competitions and Award schemes for schools and young people.

This website is now a major source of environmental information for young people, with in excess of 2 million pages downloaded every year.

Most of our income is derived from corporate sponsorships and grant-giving trusts. You can find out more about sponsorship opportunities by going to the 'Company or Charitable Trust' link (left).

Donations from the public are welcome, and you can now donate online to our work (please note you must be over 18 years of age to donate online).
