Middlesbrough Environment City is committed to working in partnership with organisations, groups and individuals from all sectors of the community to help make Middlesbrough a more sustainable place. We have over 150 partners including local authorities, educational establishments, environmental organisations and community groups.

Environmental Education Specialist Working Group

In 2004, Middlesbrough Environment City convened a specialist working group to help co-ordinate schools work delivered by the different environmental organisations in the town, with the key aim of assisting schools in contacting the most appropriate partner for help and advice. Following an initial mapping exercise, it was agreed to provide information to all schools on the services provided by each partner and develop better co-ordination of information sent to schools, helping to both improve the service provided to schools and reduce the total amount of information sent. The group continues to meet. It now co-ordinates Ecoschools in Middlesbrough and also runs the Schools’ days at the annual Middlesbrough Community Environment Conference.
