About the Event

Help shape a fairer, healthier future for Doncaster

How do issues like housing quality, air pollution, public transport, access to green space, healthy food, flooding and rising temperatures affect the communities you live in and work with?

Join local voluntary, community and faith organisations for an interactive workshop exploring the environmental issues that most impact people’s daily lives across Doncaster.

This facilitated event will bring together organisations working with diverse communities to identify shared concerns, exchange experiences and help develop priorities for future action.

The workshop will centre the voices of those communities that are too often most affected by environmental challenges but least heard in decision-making.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • The environmental issues affecting local communities across Doncaster
  • How these challenges intersect with health, inequality and social justice
  • Local experiences and community priorities
  • Opportunities for collaboration between organisations
  • Practical recommendations for local and national decision-makers

Friends of the Earth will share local environmental justice data and maps to help spark discussion, but the heart of the event will be the experiences, insights and expertise of people working directly with communities across the borough.

Who should attend?

This event is aimed at representatives of voluntary, community and faith organisations, including those working in:

  • Community development
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Youth services
  • Older people’s services
  • Disability rights and inclusion
  • Housing
  • Food poverty and foodbanks
  • Faith communities
  • Equalities and inclusion
  • Racial justice and migrant support
  • Environmental and climate action

You do not need to consider yourself an environmental organisation or be a climate expert to attend. If your work supports people and communities in Doncaster, your perspective is important.

What to expect

  • Interactive small-group discussions
  • Opportunities to network and build new partnerships
  • Community-led conversations
  • Environmental justice data and local insights
  • A welcoming and inclusive atmosphere

Lunch and refreshments provided

Why attend?

This workshop is part of a growing movement to ensure that environmental decision-making reflects the needs and priorities of the communities most affected by inequality and environmental harm.

Your contribution will help shape future collaboration, advocacy and action across Doncaster and beyond. Places are limited, so early booking is recommended.
