About us

Live Here Love here is an independent charity dedicated to connecting people and nature in Northern Ireland . We are committed to improving environmental education in every school in Northern Ireland, increasing public engagement for communities in need and raising environmental standards for the places where people spend time: where they live, work and relax.

Underpinning this is our survey work reporting on neighbourhood cleanliness across Northern Ireland with the Borough Cleanliness Survey, Northern Ireland Litter Survey and the Marine Litter Survey. Live Here Love Here is expanding volunteering opportunities with a focus on creating a new societal norm of taking responsibility for where you live. This is delivered through campaigns including Adopt A Spot and The BIG Spring Clean. 

Live Here Love Here is about creating tangible community pride, loving where you live and feeling responsible for the landscape around you. The result is the creation of a better environment for all our communities. Closely associated with this is our work to raise environmental standards through certification schemes including Blue Flag for beaches and marinas, the Seaside Award , and Green Flag Awards for public open spaces. All of these operate across and beyond Northern Ireland. We are also involved at all levels of our education system and beyond, with international programmes including Eco-Schools and Young Reporters for the Environment. 

It's your Northern Ireland, so why not get involved today!

Please note that Live Here Love Here rebranded from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful in May 2026, adopting the name of our flagship community campaign.
