Southend-on-Sea in Transition

SOUTHEND-ON-SEA CIVIC CENTRE, RECYCLING CHAMPION WORKSHOP: WEDNESDAY 24th June 2009

We are recruiting Recycling Champions to help spread the recycling message and boost Southend’s recycling rate. We have an action-based campaign where we are hoping that residents, such as you, will play an integral part. It has been found that people are more likely to adapt their behaviour if others around them are doing the same. Within this context, we would like to invite you to a Champion training session. The purpose is to provide you with more information about the Champion scheme and prepare you for your Champion role. The training sessions will include a background explaining why increasing the recycling rate is important, the various methods that Cory and Southend Borough Council will employ to achieve this, as well as communication tools and tips. In a nutshell, we would like the champions to

1. Become a source of recycling information for their neighbourhood and group members 2. Get people to sign pledge cards 3. Appear in press to give a human face to recycling in Southend 4. Help promote recycling at local events.

In return, we will be offering you 1. Interesting and valuable training 2. Support materials for group meetings 3. Prizes to reward your work 4. Annual dinner/lunch award event with a Council representative speaker

THE SESSION WILL BE HELD AT: LOCATION: SOUTHEND CENTRAL CIVIC CENTRE ROOM: COMMITTEE ROOM 6 DATE: 24TH JUNE TIME:18.30-20.30 To register please call Claire Birch on 07515998818 or by email clairebirch@sauceconsultancy.co.uk I look forward to hearing from you, Yours sincerely, Claire Birch 3rd Floor • 1 Quality Court • Chancery Lane • London • WC2A 1HR T 020 7061 6351 • E info@sauceconsultancy.co.uk Company no: 5691343 VAT no: 888 1646 70
