Todmorden Learning Centre's story
Climate Challenge @ Tod College is funded by the Climate Action Fund from the National Lottery. Our pioneering Green Futures Course is in the pilot phase. We offer four modules to give students a taste of all things sustainability and help them find their future green career path.
This community led project was developed by Todmorden Learning Centre and Community Hub (TLCCH) in response to the need identified for local jobs for young people in the emerging green economy. We work in partnership with The School of Natural Building, Incredible Farm and All 1 Collective.
