About Live Here Love Here

Live Here Love Here is an independent charity established in 2000. Through education, engagement and empowerment, we seek to inspire change by connecting people to nature. Activities include:

• Climate Minds NI is a partnership project between Live Here Love Here and Inspire Wellbeing, designed to strengthen the link between mental wellbeing and climate action. The project will establish 16 climate action groups across Northern Ireland. Through these groups, excluded communities will be empowered to codesign climate solutions, strengthen their mental wellbeing, and advance climate justice for underrepresented groups.
• Environmental Education focuses on educating children, young people, communities and businesses on environmental issues and inspiring climate action. This includes Eco-Schools and the 30 Under 30 Northern Ireland Climate Change Makers programmes
• Community Engagement is a positive, people-powered campaign that encourages volunteers to appreciate and care for their local areas through regular clean-ups, biodiversity and community gardening projects. Some of the key Community Engagement programmes are Adopt A Spot, The BIG Spring Clean and Healthy Oceans Healthy Minds.
• Local Environmental Quality work that recognises and rewards well managed green and blue spaces across Northern Ireland, particularly through the Green Flag for Parks and Outdoor Spaces, Blue Flag for Beaches and Marinas, and Seaside Awards.
