Sustainable development

Sustainable development is how we must live today if we want a better tomorrow. It is about making choices now that don't harm the planet or limit opportunities for those who come after us.

It isn't just about protecting the natural environment. It is also about people. Everyone should have access to decent work, quality health care and education. No one should be left behind due to disadvantages or discrimination.

All of our courses should give you knowledge and skills to help you make decisions that help other people and the planet.

Getting involved in your community

Book a volunteer passport course

Our volunteer passport is a 10-hour course. It can be run over several weeks. It looks at key topics all volunteers need to be aware of. These include:​

  • equality, diversity and inclusion​
  • keeping yourself and others safe​
  • responding to incidents
  • teamwork and customer care

Everyone who completes the course gets an accredited certificate and a Volunteer Passport photo ID badge. There is no charge for these, or to attend the course.​
