BIG Alliance is partnering with ARC Community Space, an amazing Islington-based social enterprise, to offer you a unique opportunity to help replant over 4,000 plants from this year's Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower show. We need your help on the 30th May, 31st May or 1st June to transform some of Islington's community spaces.

The RHS is the UK's leading gardening charity. They aim to enrich everyone's lives through plants and make the UK a greener and more beautiful place. Their show piece event is known as The Great Spring Show or, more commonly, the Chelsea Flower Show. Arguably the most famous floral display in the world, the Chelsea Flower Show, is visited by over 157,000 people each year. The 2022 edition will be held between the 24th-28th May.

In a new effort to make the Chelsea Flower Show more environmentally sustainable, the entire main avenue garden from the William Morris exhibition of the Chelsea Flower Show will be donated to ARC Community Space, who, with the help of an army of volunteers, will be planting the exhibits in several community gardens in borough of Islington, for local people to enjoy. Islington has the least amount of accessible green space per head of any London Borough, so, the plants will be of huge benefit to a community that often lacks opportunities to enjoy nature.

With World Environment Day taking place on the 5th June, this is an ideal opportunity to participate in the development of a more sustainable future for the Chelsea Flower Show, and make a really meaningful difference to our local community.

We are hoping to create a eco-conscious school in a remote part of Haiti called Platon- Robert. It is about 45 minutes south of the Petite-Troupes-De-Nippe area of Haiti. It is a pretty rural area that could really benefit from access to an affordable school. If possible, it would be great to meet with some architects, contractors and builders who would partner with us in building and funding this project.

If you would like to join us on-site in Haiti please let us know!

Forest Fire Risk Prevention Derivatives in Northern California
Bobby Fishkin, lead author

In 2018, Sacramento was named the ""the Most Polluted City on Earth"" due to ""smoke from Camp Fire,"" This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from ""loss compensation to loss prevention.""

CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention.

Financial Analyst Volunteer, Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing
A spectrum of forest fire risk prevention approaches are available: from creative new social innovations to well-established interventions.The forest fire risk prevention derivative would first survey existing forest fire prevention interventions in Greater Sacramento with an eye towards which ones might be suitable to support and expand. It would then review global social innovations that might be relevant to Northern California to determine which to replicate. Entities involved in risk management and risk securitisation, from insurers to reinsurers to retrocessionaires, ought to welcome the chance to share liability proportionally through a commons of prevention innovations. The prevention derivative can expand as more institutions and individuals join as contingent payers and impact investors in order prevent a larger portion of collective risk. Payments by private and public institutions to support prevention derivatives can be in-kind, through services, and/or financial.

Branding is a way for youth-led organizations to establish themselves. A positive and strong digital identity is necessary for youth-led initiatives as it's often their first foot forward in communications and community building. Funding and capacity for quality/ professional branding are thin in many youth-led grassroots movements, so The Branding Buddy program is looking to engage with partners and allies in the sector to design branding resources and pathways to uplift and amplify youth work.

We are offering in-kind branding services to youth-led organizations that are looking to develop their brand identity or revitalize their current brand. Mentees that are approved for our Branding Buddy Program will be provided with one-on-one branding consultations with FES’ Creative Director and/ or our consortium of marketing experts, to develop a branding package and strategy for youth-led climate projects.

Branding Buddy participants will receive:

- Logo design
- Logo usage guidelines
- Colour palette
- Typography guidelines
- Language recommendations

The Branding Buddy Program is looking to expand to meet the branding needs of more youth-led projects. We are looking for 10-15 marketing and design professionals who are willing to join the Branding Buddy team and donate their time and skills to the youth-led climate movement.

The provision of services will take approximately one month per matched mentee depending on the frequency of the partner's availability for consultations.

Here is the general timeline:

Week 1 - One-hour initial consultation to discuss the vibe and feel of the selected organization/individual, and their vision for communications. The Branding Buddy will develop some initial design ideas for a brand.

Week 2 - The Branding Buddy will share design and identity ideas for youth to review and provide feedback on in another one-hour consultation. The Branding Buddy will incorporate feedback and make adjustments based on recommendations and vision.

Week 3 - The Branding Buddy will book another consultation with you to show final versions of the logo and colour palette + typography recommendations. The Branding Buddy will incorporate final recommendations and feedback.

Week 4 - The Branding Buddy will present the final brandbook and assets
