Engaging your community FAQs

If I sign up to get started, do I have to do all 5 Pillars?

 Yes, you need to do all 5 Pillars, but we have funded experts to support you

I am interested but I am not part of a group, and I don’t really know much about this sort of thing.

Do not worry, our programme is designed for people like you.  We will link you with others in your community and help you all the way through

Does the ‘Pack’ have much help in it?

The Pack gives you a step by step guide to making your Greening Campaign community a success, and our experts will be available for any questions or ideas you want to discuss.

We are a District/County Council and would like communities in our area to take part.  How do we do this?

Email us and we will be in touch to arrange a meeting to discuss further.

How do I find out more details about the campaign?

We are always happy to chat and answer any questions people may have about the Greening campaign. Do please email us and we will arrange a meeting to talk it through with you (you can also invite others from your community to attend).

Are you running the programme anywhere outside Hampshire?

At the moment we are only able to offer the programme to Hampshire communities.

5 Pillars FAQs

Do we need to pay for the expert advice?

No, this is covered by funding from the National Lottery

Do the experts visit our community?

Pillar experts will hold online meetings with your community group or attend in person meetings and events with your group where possible and where helpful. Our Space for Nature Community Officer might visit to look at potential wild space and hold a Mapping walk, for example.

Can you send someone to attend our events please?

Your event is about your community and so we tend to avoid attending events as it can take the focus off you. However, someone will attend your Public Meeting to support you.

How long does it take to complete the 5 Pillars programme?

The 5 Pillars programme is a three year programme.

Does each of the Pillars have a Pack we can use?

Yes, they all have a specialist pack for you to use.

Interested in running a campaign or finding out more?
