Thanks to all our teaches and schools, our Trees for Teachers initiative is off to a flying start. We’ve now planted 53 UK trees and 1200 globally, removing 403 tonnes of carbon emissions!

Over the past year we've made lots of small changes to work towards being carbon-neutral. We love placing fantastic teachers in schools in the Channel Islands, but we'll be honest… getting them there isn’t very green. Whilst we changed the way we printed, went virtual with business cards and electric with cars, we wanted to do more. So we introduced a Trees for Teachers initiative.

We’ve teamed up with Carma and pledged to plant a tree for every teacher we fly/ship out. When they head out on their first assignment, we’re able to tell them where a tree is being planted in their honour; news they can share with their pupils! On top of that, we plant an extra 100 trees a month to cover all activity in-between. So whenever Red Lester teachers are travelling, you can rest assured that we’re doing our bit to protect the planet for the future generations. We can’t think of a better way of giving back and saying thank-you.

If you like the idea of “giving back” to the planet every time you take a teaching role, get in touch and be part of something good.
