AN Evesham school who have taken action to care for their local environment has been presented with a Green Heart Hero award at a ceremony in Parliament.

Karen Dunkley and Debbie West, representing Bredon Hill Academy, travelled to Parliament to attend the awards ceremony where they received the Greenest School or Youth Project award in recognition of Bredon Hill’s work to promote outdoor learning, environmental and sustainable development within both school and wider communities.

The awards ceremony also saw wins for Baroness Jenny Jones in the Greenest Peer category and Simon Clarke MP as Greenest MP.

The second annual ceremony featured an incredible audience, including over 60 MPs from across all major political parties, sport and business leaders, well known TV personalities, and inspirational community members.

The Green Heart Hero Awards are coordinated by the Climate Coalition, a group of more than 130 organisations – including the Women’s Institute, Cafod, National Trust, WWF and the RSPB –  who together represent over 15 million people nationwide.
