The purpose of Envirolution is to explore creative ways to enrich our lives, communities and environment.
Whether running workshops at events, participating in projects in Manchester or when hosting the annual festival in Platt Fields park; everything Envirolution does links back to our mission. It’s what Envirolution stands for as a community benefit society, the cause everyone comes together to celebrate.
The annual Envirolution festival is an inclusive, free celebration of creativity and alternative approaches to reducing our impact on the environment. Everyone is welcome, from the diverse communities that surround Platt fields park and beyond.
So come and enjoy a fun day in our magnificent public space on 23 May 2020, sharing alternatives to make a difference. We’re all in it together, after all.
Envirolution is empowered by our community, so if you’d like to get involved with partnering with Envirolution, sharing your creative talents or simply volunteering your time to the cause, you can do here.

Dawn kendall
Chairperson & Director
“On a personal level I was looking for something more, a way to connect further with the city I live in, a way to help others and the environment and Envirolution has given me this and so much more. It has given me a family, an education and it has given me amazing connections with so many wonderful individuals and organisations. I love the opportunity I have been given to be a part of something that is helping to bring people together to share ideas, skills and knowledge so that we can all work towards creating a greener more positive future”.
Paul Mitchell
Treasurer & Director
“I believe in a future where communities work together in a sustainable world. Working with Envirolution gives me the knowledge that I am making a positive difference to people’s lives and to our sustainable goal. Envirolution has helped fill a space in my life that I didn’t know was missing. Giving me confidence and has helped develop skills that I never knew that I had! On our journey it’s taken me to some amazing places – quenching a need for new experiences and knowledge. I’ve worked with some amazing people that have become great friends”.
Bob Walley
Creative Engagement Director
“Envirolution began as an idea, to imagine a more sustainable future for us all. I wanted to be part of a movement that can bring about change and connect with people. Being part of Envirolution is just that, and feels like one of the best things I could be doing in our ongoing battle with climate change. The more people we reach or join us, the more difference we can make.
Its amazing to see how far we’ve come, with new people bringing new ideas and energy. It really is an honour to be part of this amazing team”.
Dan Gibbon-Walsh
Marketing Director
“Without being involved in Envirolution, I’d probably feel a little bit lost! Finding positive aspects of your community and city to be a part of are vital to be able to help start making changes in the world, and show we can find ways around all of the problems our world faces at present – many of them through collaboration and positive intent. Envirolution gives me the opportunity to make a difference, to work with organisations city-wide and bring them all together for the community to discover, so we can all continue on this journey to a sustainable future together”.
