Carers Centre are looking for support from a VIP to support their carbon management plan. As part of their recommissioning with BANES council and commitment to contributing to BANES carbon reduction by 2030, the Carers Centre have been encouraged to look at their carbon emissions as an organisation. In the initial stages the project would be to support the carers centre to provide an outline of the Carers Centre carbon management commitment and collaboration with UoB to BANES as part of the recommission. With the view that first semester would be time for the VIP group to explore the Carers Centre emissions within Scope 1 emissions and prepare a list of recommendations to be presented to the organisation. There would be opportunities for students to learn about the work of the carers centre and understanding what they deliver to their service users within the social care sector.
The project aims to support Carers Centre in creating a carbon commitment outline, help identify their carbon emissions in Scope 1 and provide recommendations on how they can approach their carbon management plan in their organisation.
