Presentation Abstract
Chartering Success Together: The Ripple Effect of Community Collaboration
Change doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in connection. In this session, Helen Woodcock explores how working with local communities can spark meaningful transformation in the transition to more responsible, sustainable living. Drawing on her experience partnering with Eco-Schools, Wigan and Manchester Youth Zones, Keep Britain Tidy, and Wigan Athletic, she shares how these collaborations created unexpected momentum: starting conversations, shifting behaviours, and empowering others to act.
