Public Health Wales launches toolkit to run Healthy Environment Workshops

Public Health Wales has launched a new, free, toolkit to help partner organisations run Healthy Environment Workshops throughout Wales. The easy-to-use online resource will give teams the tools they need to run sessions which will help attendees to consider and reduce their negative impacts on the environment, and increase those activities that have a positive impact such as helping nature, reducing waste and carbon emissions.

Tracy Evans, Senior Sustainable Development Officer at Public Health Wales, said:

We have worked really hard to develop an easy-to-use, engaging toolkit that will help facilitators to deliver workshops that will give people practical ways to make a positive impact on the environment.

We are working with Cynnal Cymru and other partners to train and support a network of facilitators who will be able to support teams to use this across Wales.

I would encourage anyone interested in facilitating one of these workshops to use the resource with their teams.”

The toolkit and on-line workshop have been developed to contribute towards the aims of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act, which all public bodies in Wales have a legal requirement to work towards.
