That's a wrap on #GreatBigGreenWeek 2026 - and what a week it's been thanks to you! 🫶

Over 1.6 million people and over 10,000 events - this is the UK's biggest ever celebration of community action for climate and nature. Every single year, you make it bigger, better and more extraordinary than the last. 💚

To every organiser, volunteer, attendee and participant: thank you. This week belongs to you!

Great Big Green Week will be back in June 2027 - and we can't wait to do it all again with you. In the meantime, stay tuned for more ways to take action for people, climate and nature and keep your eyes peeled for more wrap up content very soon 👀

The teachers and pupils at Clifford Road Primary & Nursery School in Ipswich love so much about Busy Things.

And the reasons they give are why schools keep renewing their subscriptions with us.

Many thanks for the lovely feedback Sally-Ann!
