BBC Breathing Places Kits

Filed under:    

This year the BBC is encouraging groups to run a ‘Do One Thing’ event to bring people closer to nature on their doorstep. By running a fun Breathing Places-themed event for all the family, you’ll be able to show people the hard work you’ve done or have planned, get them excited about the nature and wildlife in their area and encourage them to Do One Thing for nature themselves.

The BBC will support you by giving the free event kit
containing the resources and materials to help you run a
Breathing Places Open Day:

Information for running an event
• Health & Safety advice
• Event checklist
• A Media Kit including advice on how to get your story
noticed
• A CD with poster templates, logos and more
• Guide to registering your event on the BBC
Breathing Places online database
• List of local experts and organisations who might be
able to help

Resources for the event
• Suggested activities and resources. We’ll provide
ideas and resources (where appropriate) to ensure
your event is filled with fun for all the family.
• Bunting and banners
• Stickers(see picture), Bags and other giveaways
• Breathing Places Sign-up Cards for members of the
public to get on our (e)mailing list and learn about the
many ways they can Do One Thing themselves.
• Empty-belly Posters to update with your venue
details (see picture on next page)
• Breathing Places information booklets

What type of event can you run?
A Do One Thing event is an opportunity to invite the local ommunity to visit your Breathing Place and take part in ome great family-orientated activities. How you actually tructure the event is up to you.

The event may be a full day, a few hours (such as an
open evening or afternoon) or anything in between. It
could even be a weekend if you’re feeling particularly
ambitious! You could invite a local expert to give a talk,
organise games and scavenger hunts and/or get people
to roll up their sleeves and help you (if needed).

A limited number of these packs will be available at the beginning of May. For more information contact your BBC Learning Project Manager, Naomi Arnold, 020 7208 9610, naomi.arnold@bbc.co.uk.
