Latest reports suggest that the charitable arm of Leicester City FC has launched a new scheme known as Eco Foxes intended to tackle climate change impact.

According to reports, the charity is working alongside Leicester City Council and The Canal and River Trust to provide education in schools and outdoor learning workshops.

The initiative is expected to encourage participants to carry out tasks that promote sustainability and tackle climate change, such as planting trees, litter picking and recycling, and provides help to people who want to be ‘greener’.

Speaking on the new scheme, the club’s environmental sustainability coordinator, Dr Alex Evans, said that environmental sustainability is important because it ensures that we “work in ways so that people can have a safe, healthy and affordable life now, and for future generations to come.

“To achieve that, we are making sure that we make the most of renewable energy sources, we are limiting our carbon impact on nature and we are also trying to educate and provide awareness of things such as climate change,” he explained.

Speaking further, he said “because we are a community organisation, we really want to help support anyone who is interested in sustainability or those who don’t yet know how they can help. We want to provide education and resources for them”.

He maintained that there would be lots of opportunities for people in Leicester to get involved, such as with things to do with cleaning up the environment or doing social action on climate change, and even fun things like planting trees and litter picks.
