PEOPLE can nominate a young person from Ealing or Hillingdon for a Jack Petchey Environmental Award.
Winners, aged 11-25, will be awarded a certificate, a letter from Sir Jack and the opportunity to apply for a grant of up to £300 for their project.
You can nominate through https://www.jackpetcheyfoundation.org.uk/opportunities/jack-petchey-environmental-award/
The award was introduced by the Foundation after its recent Environmental Youth Survey, in which almost 4,000 young people were asked how they could be better supported to build a more sustainable future.
Almost half said they would like young people to be better recognised for helping the environment.
A grant could be used to buy equipment (like recycling facilities or renewable energy sources), towards an event (like an Upcycling Day) or for a trip, like enabling a group of young people to travel to a nature area.
Nominations are open from June 21 to October 31.
