Company activities and impact

PART 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S ACTIVITIES AND IMPACT In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. At GenEarth we aim to educate, inspire, and empower young people to address the climate crisis by giving them a voice and the opportunity to take collective action. We focus on adaptability and responsiveness to the ever-changing political, social, and environmental landscape. We bring together educators, volunteers and partners from across the private, public and voluntary sectors, to deliver a range of action-led free programmes for schools centred on innovation, design and creativity. In 2024, we successfully engaged over 10,000 young people. Our flagship initiative, the Young Green Briton Challenge, is a year-long programme that empowers secondary students to take meaningful action on local climate and sustainability issues. Through hands-on projects, mentorship, and seed funding, YGBC nurtures, supports, and celebrates youth-led climate solutions. The impact is felt across whole school communities: students report feeling more hopeful, confident, and heard; teachers see their pupils developing essential skills for the future; and volunteers describe YGBC as “a professional highlight of the year.” In 2024 we began engagement with over 7,300 young people nationwide, enabling them to connect classroom learning with real-world change. Delivered in partnership with impact-led climate and innovation organisations, including programme co-founders, Social Innovation for All and the Green Britain Foundation, YGBC equips schools to be hubs of climate leadership and community resilience. Since 2020, GenEarth and the Born Free Foundation have worked together to inspire thousands of young people across the UK while providing schools with engaging, curriculum-linked conservation and animal welfare education. Teachers benefit from accessible, high-quality workshops that strengthen their delivery of environmental topics, while young people leave with a deeper understanding of the threats facing wildlife and a stronger sense of agency to take positive action. In the last financial year, this partnership equipped over 2,000 young people with the knowledge and tools to support conservation both in and beyond the classroom. Through our collaboration with the UK Youth Climate Coalition, we deliver youth-designed and youth-led Climate Justice workshops that provide safe, inspiring spaces to talk about eco-anxiety, climate justice, and grassroots change. Grounded in peer-to-peer learning, these workshops help young people explore how climate change connects with issues of equity and justice, while supporting them to design campaigns for positive change in their own communities. In the last year, over 700 students took part, leaving with both the skills and confidence to advocate for more inclusive solutions. In partnership with Goldsmiths University and I Have A Voice, we are piloting a project that supports primary school children to become local park designers, connecting biodiversity, wellbeing, and community needs. Through the Parklife project, students investigate how green spaces serve people of different ages and backgrounds, link their science learning on plants with real-world biodiversity, and present their proposals directly to policymakers, giving young people a genuine platform to influence change. The initiative engaged over 50 children in 2024, strengthening their sense of belonging in their community and helping educators integrate environmental awareness more deeply into the curriculum. Across all of our work, GenEarth is committed to empowering young people as leaders, supporting educators as enablers, and strengthening communities as sites of climate action and resilience.

Consultation with stakeholders

GenEarth’s stakeholders include young people, educators, schools, volunteers, and partners from a range of industries, all of whom play a vital role in shaping our programmes. Stakeholder consultation is integral to our approach: we maintain a non-governance advisory group of teachers, climate activists, environmental educators, and young people, as well as a small team of youth ambassadors who provide input, lead projects, and share ideas for future initiatives. Our programmes are co-designed with experienced teachers and regularly refined based on feedback gathered from youth through end-of-workshop surveys, ensuring responsiveness to the needs and aspirations of our core audiences. This ongoing dialogue informs improvements, keeps activities relevant, and empowers all stakeholders to help shape the direction and impact of our work.
