At Hup Initiatives we work with local authorities, schools and businesses to raise awareness of the health concerns surrounding air pollution and the benefits of sustainable travel.
We provide practical information to reduce exposure and lower pollution emissions.
Our programme focuses on four key areas:
Clean Air for Schools
Using citizen science to raise awareness and understanding of issues surrounding poor air quality. Pupils can then assist the school and local authorities in spreading the message to the wider school community. Increased awareness within the school community will result in reductions in car use on the school run and encourage more sustainable transport practice.
(The material used is firmly rooted in the national curriculum for History and Science and will inform the production of campaign resources such as posters and banners produced by the pupils).
Targeted community events
Held at community venues to raise awareness among key community stakeholders such as children, the elderly and carers.
Large community events
Targeting the general public providing information at indoor and outdoor events such as summer fetes and community fairs. The stands will be active and engaging to ensure the message is accessible to all.
Health Professionals and Strategic Policy Officers presentations and training
At these events we inform frontline staff and policy makers on the health impacts, legal requirements and policy developments concerning transport emissions and air pollution. The events are attended by professionals from the health sector as well as the planning and highways authorities.
