Complete the Environmental, Social, and Governance maturity survey. Now in its second year this free tool enables charities and not-for-profit organisations to analyse and report on their organisation’s environmental, social and governance maturity. Eastside People are offering everybody who completes the survey the opportunity to receive a tailored confidential report for their organisation with benchmark data, an action plan, and a free consultation to take the next steps.

The 2025 edition of the ESG Survey is open until Friday 25th July 2025.

Let's green Greater Manchester's Skyline together. Help nature thrive from your balcony or window box.

So whether you’re a gardening novice or a planting pro – if you have a balcony or window box, you can green the city above the ground. The sky really is the limit.

That’s why National Trust are encouraging Greater Manchester residents to welcome nature into their skyline space. To help nature bloom on every balcony.
