-Groundbreaking project will support mental wellbeing and empower climate action -

Thanks to National Lottery players, Live Here Love Here’s 'Climate Minds NI’ project has received £1,462,419.00 over three years from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest community funder in the UK. The initiative has been designed to strengthen the link between mental wellbeing and climate action.

The project will be delivered in partnership by Live Here, Love Here, acting as lead partner, and Inspire Wellbeing. Climate Minds NI will support people and communities, including individuals experiencing mental ill health, intellectual disabilities, and addiction by connecting them with climate action staff and volunteers.

The project will establish 16 climate action groups across Northern Ireland. Through these groups, excluded communities will be empowered to codesign climate solutions, strengthen their mental wellbeing, and advance climate justice for underrepresented groups.

The project represents an ambitious initiative that has the potential to create lasting climate positive activities beyond the life of the project and significantly improve participants’ mental wellbeing.

This comes from the Climate Action Fund, a long-term commitment to support communities across the UK to act on climate change and involve more people in positive environmental action.

Eric Randall, Chief Executive Officer of Live Here Love Here, says:

“We’re delighted to receive this transformative funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.

Mental wellbeing is a key priority within our five-year strategy because we see, time and time again, how powerful the connection is between it and nature.

Working in partnership with Inspire Wellbeing, this first-of-its-kind project gives us the opportunity to deliver lasting benefits for both people and climate, supporting healthier, more resilient communities across Northern Ireland.

Kerry Anthony MBE of Inspire Wellbeing says:

"Across Inspire, we see every day the positive impact that connection, purpose and belonging can have on wellbeing. Climate Minds NI is an exciting opportunity to bring people together to make a difference in the communities they care about, while supporting their own wellbeing at the same time.

By creating opportunities for meaningful climate action, building new connections and ensuring local voices are heard, this project will help foster hope, resilience and a sense of empowerment for the future.

We are proud to be partnering with Live Here Love Here on this innovative initiative and grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund for making it possible."

Kate Beggs, Northern Ireland Director at The National Lottery Community Fund said:

“Communities have the power to make a real difference with tackling climate change, with huge mental health benefits too. By taking the lead on local climate action, people across Northern Ireland will be empowered to make the changes that matter to them.

“Thanks to National Lottery players, this project will have a powerful impact on both people and the planet. We’re excited to see how this partnership continues to grow over the next three years.”

The success of our green spaces was celebrated at the annual Green Flag Awards at Mossley Mill. Site managers from across Northern Ireland were recognised on Wednesday for the pivotal work they do in maintaining public spaces critical to our local communities. Community groups were also celebrated for their dedication in maintaining and enhancing their local green spaces.

A record-breaking 122 sites were awarded this year. This included 86 Green Flag Awards and 36 Community Green Flags. 7 Heritage Awards were given to sites that also demonstrated excellence in the care of their heritage elements. Two sites also received Green Flag NI Pollinator Awards.

The Green Flag Award programme in Northern Ireland is sponsored by Power NI, part of Energia Group, and supported by the Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.

Minister for the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Andrew Muir, said:

“I am proud to support the Green Flags programme, and it is truly encouraging to see so many people who care deeply about their communities and green spaces.

Our green spaces benefit the whole community, and it is important that everyone feels welcome, safe and encouraged to avail of the wonderful facilities in our parks which provide us with healthy spaces to live and relax. The prestigious green flag celebrates a standard of excellence, and I look forward to seeing the green flags flying high from our parks and green spaces.”

This year, the awards focus on ensuring our parks are safe spaces for women and girls. The awards aim to promote the message that our green spaces should be open to everyone in our society and that we should do everything we can to ensure that women and girls feel safe in all parts of Northern Ireland. These awards can serve as a timely reminder to ensure that all parks and green spaces remain safe and secure.

Junior Minister Joanne Bunting said: “These awards are an opportunity to celebrate those who help make our parks and green spaces places of pride, connection and wellbeing. I commend Live Here Love Here, local councils, community groups and volunteers for their dedication to maintaining these important spaces and congratulate all award recipients on this well-deserved recognition.

“While Northern Ireland is consistently one of the three safest places in which to live in the whole of the UK, sadly violence against women and girls continues to have a devastating impact here. The theme of this year’s awards which focuses on making parks and open spaces safer for women and girls, highlights the importance of ensuring public spaces can be enjoyed by everyone.”

Junior Minister Aisling Reilly said: “Congratulations to all those who received awards. Your work is vital in providing welcoming outdoor community spaces for families and people of all ages and abilities. Our green spaces are at the heart of many communities – places where people can come together to play, exercise and socialise, keep healthy and look after their mental health and wellbeing.

“The Executive Office is committed to ending the scourge of violence against women and girls, so I want to thank all those working to ensure that our parks are safe, welcoming spaces that can be enjoyed by everyone in our community.”

Speaking about the awards, Eric Randall, Chief Executive of Live Here Love Here said;

“Our parks are a centre point of our communities. They play an important role in supporting our environment and promoting well-being for our citizens. This year, we want to focus on ensuring that these green spaces are accessible and safe for all, most importantly, women and girls. The awards were a great opportunity to share best practices in this area and hear about how other places have tackled this issue. We have read and heard about some of the appalling statistics about violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland. As a society, we need to tackle this issue and ensure that all parts of our society are safe. Today’s awards are a reminder of the role our parks can play in supporting all of us and why we need to keep raising awareness of the need for everyone to feel at home in the shared spaces we all love.”

The Green Flag programme sets international standards for our parks to strive toward and provides an important benchmark for the public to understand the quality of what is on their doorstep. This programme offers the opportunity to share best practice across different countries.

Northern Ireland’s award-winning beaches and marinas have been revealed at a ceremony at The Stables in Groomsport, Co. Down.

Charity Live Here Love Here –recently rebranded from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful- manages the accreditations locally. Yesterday they announced 21 winning sites, spread across five council areas. Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is home to more than half the winning sites - earning an impressive 11 awards in total. Other winning sites are spread across Ards and North Down, Belfast, Mid Ulster and Newry, Mourne and Down council areas.

Fourteen sites across Northern Ireland earned the iconic Blue Flag Award- one of the world’s most recognised awards for beaches and marinas. Winning sites met international standards in criteria such as safety, accessibility, cleanliness, environmental education and, for beaches, water quality.

This year, the awards focused on making our beaches accessible to everyone in the community. Ensuring that all in society can enjoy these magnificent spaces should be a priority for all of us.

A further seven beaches received Seaside Awards, the UK’s mark of quality that ensures visitors are guaranteed to find a clean, safe, attractive, and well-managed coastal stretch.

Eric Randall, CEO of Live Here Love Here, said:

“I want to warmly congratulate the 21 beaches and marinas that have won a Blue Flag or a Seaside Award this year. These awards are about celebrating all that is good in our marine environment and reminding the public about the importance of looking after our blue spaces. None of the progress we celebrate today would be possible without the work of our volunteers and officers in our councils.

This year was particularly special as we focused on ensuring our beaches are open to all parts of our community.”

Speaking at the ceremony, the Minister for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Andrew Muir MLA, said: “Congratulations to all our winning beaches and marinas. These iconic awards demonstrate the hard work of councils, volunteers and operators in meeting and maintaining international standards. The awards assure residents and visitors alike that they are guaranteed to find a clean, safe, attractive and well-managed beach or marina to enjoy.

“My Department identifies the bathing waters most popular with swimmers. These sites are required to meet high water quality standards and are regularly monitored throughout the bathing season, which runs from 1 June to mid-September. The information is made publicly available to help bathers make informed decisions about when and where to swim. We also provide this data to Live Here Love Here to support their awards programme, which we are proud to celebrate today.

“I intend to launch a public consultation on the Bathing Waters Policy Review soon which will focus on key policy areas including the length of the bathing season, a potential risk-based monitoring approach, the criteria for identifying bathing waters, the use of candidate sites and the de-identification of sites.

“I encourage everyone with an interest to engage fully with this consultation to help shape a resilient and sustainable future for Northern Ireland’s bathing waters.”

Mayors from across councils and beach and marina operators, were invited to collect the awards.

Award-winning beaches will now have their respective flags in place for the bathing season. In the event that water quality is not safe for members of the public to swim in, Blue Flags and Seaside Awards Flags are lowered until the water is safe to swim in.

Blue Flag Marinas, which are not designated bathing waters, fly their flags all year round.

Positive Futures and Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful today announce, “Caring for our World”, a partnership delivering free, accessible climate training to organisations supporting people with a learning disability. The training takes a two-step approach, first educating and certifying staff who, once trained, then use the flexible resources provided to educate and certify the people with a learning disability they support, empowering them to take meaningful climate action.

This is the first climate change programme for people with a learning disability to be developed in Northern Ireland. The resources are flexible and inclusive and can be easily adapted to deliver full workshops or one-to-one sessions for those with complex needs.

This project is funded through the carrier bag levy by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), supporting climate education and sustainability initiatives across Northern Ireland.

DAERA Minister Andrew Muir MLA said, “I want to congratulate everyone involved today from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful and Positive Futures who have worked together to develop these important training resources. I’m delighted that though the Carrier Bag Levy, my Department has been able to support the development of Caring for our World. We know that when climate information is made clear, engaging, relevant and accessible it empowers everyone to participate fully in both the conversation and with positive action. These resources will help to ensure that people with additional learning needs also have the tools to help bring about meaningful climate action in their communities.”

Eric Randall, Chief Executive, Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful:

“We are delighted to partner with Positive Futures in delivering this truly groundbreaking approach to climate training. Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful has always promoted climate action to as many groups as possible and, more importantly, removing the barriers that some parts of our community might face in accessing this vital information. Caring for our World will ensure that climate action resources are accessible to all in our society. There should be no barriers for those who want to take positive steps to combat the climate emergency”

Dr Agnes Lunny, Chief Executive, Positive Futures:

“As part of our Positive Green strategy for our organisation, we have been educating our staff on sustainability issues, particularly climate. We wanted this training to be inclusive of the people we support and the wider learning disabilities community. Caring for our World empowers staff and people with learning disabilities to take meaningful climate action with confidence. Importantly, it gives people context and rationale for their actions - many of which they may already be doing without realising just how impactful small, everyday behaviours can be in countering climate change.

Patrick McKinney is supported by Positive Futures and one of the first to complete the training:

“I like to help the planet; I recycle and save energy. I know a make a difference.’

Positive Futures has successfully piloted the training. Other organisations including Mainstay DRP; Camphill Community Glencraig; The Cedar Foundation; and NOW Group are set to follow in early 2026.

Power NI, part of Energia Group, has announced a new partnership with Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful through the sponsorship of the Green Flag Award Programme, reinforcing a shared commitment between Power NI and Energia Group to supporting communities and high-quality environmental standards across Northern Ireland.

The Green Flag Award is an internationally recognised benchmark for the management of parks and public spaces, setting clear standards for safety, sustainability and local community engagement. Awarded sites must meet rigorous criteria and reapply annually to retain their status, ensuring consistently high standards.

There are currently 118 Green Flag–recognised sites across Northern Ireland, including traditional parks, community-managed green spaces supported by voluntary groups, and heritage sites recognised for excellence in the care of historic features.

Power NI’s sponsorship will support the continued delivery and growth of the Green Flag initiative locally, with a particular focus on expanding the network of community-led Green Flag sites. The programme plays an important role in ensuring people, regardless of where they live, have access to well-managed green and open spaces that support physical and mental wellbeing, environmental sustainability, and community pride.

The Green Flag Award Programme also promotes best practice across the green space sector, providing guidance, assessment and recognition for those organisations, staff members and volunteers responsible for managing public spaces. By recognising excellence and encouraging continuous improvement, the scheme strengthens long-term stewardship of local environments.

William Steele, the Director of Customer Solutions at Power NI, said: “We are proud to sponsor the Green Flag Award Programme in Northern Ireland and to partner with Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful on a programme that delivers tangible benefits for local communities.

“High-quality green spaces are vital to health, wellbeing and social connection, and this partnership supports the people and organisations working to maintain them,” he added.

“Our sponsorship will help grow the network of Green Flag community sites, encouraging local groups and residents to take an active role in caring for their environment and creating spaces that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.”

Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful has been working since 2000 to support people and nature thriving together, delivering environmental initiatives that help communities, councils and volunteers improve places and protect the natural environment.

The organisation is one of four charities supported by the Energia Group Greener Possibilities Fund. Aligned to UN SDG 11: Sustainable Communities and SDG 13: Climate Action, the Fund has also supported Grow NI this year, as well as Global Action Plan Ireland and FoodCloud in ROI. Administered by Community Foundation Ireland, the programme supports environmental and community-focused projects across the island of Ireland.

Eric Randall, CEO at Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, said: “We are delighted to partner with Power NI to deliver the Green Flag Programme in Northern Ireland. We are fortunate to have many beautiful green spaces in Northern Ireland – and their sustainable management plays a vital role in supporting healthy communities and biodiversity.

“One of the strengths of the Green Flag programme is that it provides an opportunity for community-led green spaces to be supported and recognised – and this partnership will enable us to do more in this area.”

Action Renewables has partnered with Eco-Schools, Northern Ireland’s largest environmental education programme, to support climate change awareness in schools.

Action Renewables, based in Belfast, are a leading provider of renewable energy expertise and provide support for renewable energy development, through trading electricity and renewable energy certificates.

Research highlights that our shores are still awash with discarded waste

Eighty-four per cent of the litter found on Northern Ireland’s beaches is made from plastic, according to data published by environmental charity Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful.

The Marine Litter Report, which is now in its 12th year in 2024 and is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), shows that the average number of litter items present per 100 metres of beach surveyed in 2024 was 341, highlighting the need to continue our fight against litter.

Once again, the volume of plastics at the surveyed beaches featured prominently, reaching a staggering 84% of all litter recorded. Overall, 17,573 items of litter were detected on the beaches surveyed in 2024, demonstrating the need to move forward with proposals regarding a Deposit Return Scheme and Extended Producer Responsibility, as outlined in the Environmental Improvement Plan.

Other findings made available in the Marine Litter Report include the contents of the ‘Terrible Ten’ most observed litter culprits across beaches, which are dominated by plastic and polystyrene fragments sized under 2.5cm. This is followed by tangled fishing nets, rope, string, and cord with a diameter of less than 1cm. A key finding in this year's report is the significant amount of drink-related litter that has made the top ten.

The Marine Litter Report is an annual survey of 12 beaches around Northern Ireland’s coasts that are assessed by a team of trained operatives during the four seasons of the year. Drawing on the international OSPAR methodology, the results from each survey are added to a central database of 15 governments and the EU cooperate to protect the marine environment of the North-East Atlantic.

Eric Randall, Chief Executive of Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, said:

“This report highlights why we need to keep pushing forward on our fight against litter. The decrease in marine litter is welcome, but the rates are still far too high. It is easy to think that throwing away a plastic bottle or a straw has no consequence, but it is detrimental to our marine wildlife, and it hurts our local economy. This double whammy of damage must be turned around if we are to have truly thriving beaches and marinas.

I reaffirm Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful’s commitment to policies that move us away from the use of single-use plastics and encourage a circular economy where reuse becomes the norm. The findings in this report show why these changes are necessary in Northern Ireland.”

DAERA Minister Andrew Muir said: “I welcome the publication of the Marine Litter Report 2024 by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful and extend my sincere thanks to the volunteers and contributors whose dedication to surveying and cleaning our beaches is making a real difference.

“The statistics highlight the persistent problem of litter, particularly plastic, in our marine environment. This is a form of pollution that we can all help prevent at its source. Everyone has a role to play in tackling this avoidable problem and I am confident that through collaboration, increased public awareness as well as strong policy interventions, we can turn the tide on beach litter.

“I am proud that my Department continues to fund the Marine Litter Report. The data collected since 2012 has helped build a robust evidence base that informs our actions and supports long-term environmental protection.”

Environmental charity Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful has released its annual Cleaner Neighbourhoods report, which provides a snapshot of the local environmental quality in all eleven council areas across Northern Ireland. The overall picture is consistent with that of the previous year; litter remains a significant environmental issue, particularly litter from single-use plastics.

The report highlights the need for action on key areas of the Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP), which aim to tackle litter. Nearly a year since the publication of the EIP, the Cleaner Neighbourhoods Report highlights some particular areas that need to be advanced if Northern Ireland is to turn the tide on its litter problem. The EIP provides an important route map for Northern Ireland's pathway in fighting against the climate emergency. A range of policy initiatives, from the introduction of a Deposit Return Scheme to Extended Producer Responsibility, can help us become a leader in this area. We require a range of policy approaches and resources to address this issue.

The report reveals that 19% of the surveyed areas failed to meet acceptable standards of cleanliness. Confectionery (58%) and cigarette litter (53%) are the two most commonly found types of litter in the surveyed transects, followed by litter from drinks (44%) and takeaway packaging (17%). A more commented-on form of litter, dog fouling, was found in 4% of transects, representing a decrease from 7% in 2023. Whilst some items of litter have decreased, the level is still too high.

Speaking about the report findings, the Minister for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Andrew Muir MLA said;

“I welcome the publication of the Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful Cleaner Neighbourhoods Report 2024/25. It is encouraging this report shows a decrease in some types of litter however there is always room for further progress. We must recognise that each of us has a role to play in reducing the litter found on our streets and in our local communities. I encourage everyone to play their part in the fight against littering as we strive to protect our environment for future generations as we seek to deliver a cleaner and greener Northern Ireland which is a better place to live and do business. Going forward, in addition to my Department’s 2022 legislation increasing the maximum fixed penalty councils can impose for littering offences to £200, DAERA will be playing its part by delivering on its Environmental Improvement Plan commitments to introduce a Deposit Return Scheme for drink containers and to phase in the Extended Producer Responsibility Scheme for packaging”

The Chief Executive of Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, Eric Randall, said:

“The publication of the Cleaner Neighbourhoods Report serves as a timely reminder that we must continue to apply pressure to reduce the amount of litter on our streets. This report makes a significant contribution to the debate on litter levels in Northern Ireland. Whilst it is welcome that litter levels have not increased, it is clear, that we still need to go further. It is crucial that policymakers continue work to progress the many initiatives outlined in the Executive’s Environmental Improvement Plan to tackle our litter problem. Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful publishes reports like this to inform the debate and help policymakers across government make informed decisions that make a difference.”
