♻️ Tackling travel impacts & funding community-benefit renewable energy with onboard:earth

🌍 We know that the carbon emissions created by travel to events are often the greatest environmental impact, as they contribute to climate change and air pollution. We partner with to measure our company miles and emissions, find ways to reduce our impact, and balance unavoidable carbon emissions.

🚐 Our donations from last year have been invested to support the brilliant Solar for Schools project. They help UK schools to install solar panels, allowing them to produce low-cost clean electricity, and run education programmes to teach children about the importance of a low-carbon future and inspire positive behaviour change. Solar for School’s key impacts to date are:

- 295 solar powered schools across the country.
- 180,000 students reached with solar, energy and green careers education since 2016.
- 13,594.64 tCO2 saved across all schools since 2016.
- £2.5m saved by schools in the last 5 years
- 30% reduction in energy consumption: all participating schools report dramatic behaviour change around energy use.

🌱 Next year we are working with to help them reach their goal of raising £1 million for people and the planet. Find out more at www.onboard.earth.

🌍 Celebrate World Kindness Day with us! 🌍

Try and do (at least) one intentional act of kindness today to benefit someone else. It can be as straightforward or as involved as you like. 🌟

Check in on a friend that you haven’t spoken to for a while, call a family member, help out in your local community, pick up some litter on the street, buy a homeless person a sandwich or warm drink, book in to give blood, smile at a stranger…. The list is endless. 🫶🏼

No matter what you decide to do, your act of kindness will unite you with others dedicated to changing the world one kind act at a time. 🕰️

☀️ We love this photograph of our bar workers providing Waiter Service to the accessibility platform at the gig in last weekend 🫵🏼😍

We are proud to serve all customers in the festival and events industry.

Did you know that we always have lowered access bars at our events? ♿️ The clients we work with are excellent at providing accessibility on site at events and we are more than happy to be a part of that.

We are a Disability Confident Employer, working closely with our staff, clients and customers to promote; openness, respect, equality and inclusion for all.

A great feature of our recruitment platform- .jobs - is that workers can inform us, confidentially, of any additional or medical needs. This information is treated with the utmost respect and is handled carefully by our core office team.
