Yorkshire Sustainability Festival is the biggest gathering of sustainability in the North of England.

It highlights the importance of collaborating, sharing our key learnings and recognising that we must start somewhere to make a difference in protecting our planet.

With events taking place across Yorkshire, we’d thought we’d host our own events for YSF!

So we are bringing back our ‘E’Co-Working Day and Sustainable Bytes events in June for two days of networking, sharing and learning.

‘E’Co-Working Day- Tuesday 11th June, 9:45am- 4:00pm

Are you passionate about making a difference in the world through sustainability or social impact? 

Do you work alone a lot of the time, having to actively seek out like-minded individuals?

Join us for a day of co-working surrounded by other people and planet focused professionals at NatWest 3rd Floor, Leeds.

This will be our fourth time hosting this event and it’s just an amazing opportunity to get out of the house and go through your to-do list whilst making some great connections.

“These co-working days bring a great sense of camaraderie.”

Whether you work from home or in an office, our ‘E’Co-Working day is for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re an entrepreneur, a corporate professional, or an advocate, this day is the perfect opportunity to expand your network and amplify your impact.

Share your expertise, seek advice and collaborate on solutions that innovatively address challenges of sustainability and social impact!
