Our Planet Needs You (ourplanetneedsyou.com) is a youth-led climate action programme that helps organisations create measurable environmental and social impact in the communities where they work.
Working in partnership with schools, local authorities and businesses, OPNY empowers young people to lead practical climate action projects that reduce carbon emissions, tackle litter, increase biodiversity and inspire lasting behaviour change.
For social value partners, OPNY provides a simple, high-impact way to invest in local communities while delivering meaningful outcomes against Social Value commitments, ESG objectives and carbon reduction targets.
Partners sponsor fully funded places for schools, enabling children and young people to participate in a year-long programme of hands-on environmental action. Activities include active travel, energy saving, food sustainability, waste reduction, biodiversity projects and community litter campaigns, all supported by an innovative digital platform that tracks participation and impact.
The programme is designed to create benefits for multiple stakeholders:
Schools receive a fully funded programme and ongoing support.
Students develop leadership, teamwork and environmental awareness through real-world action.
Communities become cleaner, greener and more connected.
Partners receive robust impact reporting, volunteering opportunities for employees, engagement with local schools, and measurable outcomes that can be mapped against the National TOMs framework and other reporting requirements.
The programme has already demonstrated significant impact through its London pilot, engaging thousands of pupils and delivering measurable reductions in waste and carbon emissions through everyday behaviour change. As OPNY expands across London and beyond, our ambition is to build a nationwide network of schools working together to create healthier, more sustainable communities.
Whether you are a contractor delivering social value, a business investing in ESG, a housing provider, infrastructure company or local authority, partnering with OPNY allows you to create visible, lasting impact where it matters most.
Together, we can inspire the next generation of environmental leaders while creating cleaner streets, stronger communities and a more sustainable future for everyone.
The transformacy Social Value Network is a growing community of organisations — social enterprises, charities, training providers, community groups and purpose-led businesses — each delivering genuine social value in their field and their region.
Think of it as a trusted pool of partners. When organisations make social value commitments — through a Public Sector tender, a Section 106 agreement, or their own strategy — they need credible partners to help deliver them on the ground. The network exists to connect that need with the organisations best placed to meet it.
Every member is chosen for the quality and authenticity of the social value they create, so the network stays something people can genuinely rely on — a shortcut to trusted, capable partners rather than an open directory. Each member has a profile setting out what they do, who they serve and where they operate, and displays the transformacy Social Value Network member badge as a mark of their place in the community.
Being part of the transformacy Social Value Network means:
Visibility — a profile within a trusted, curated network seen by organisations actively looking for social value partners.
Opportunity — the chance to be called upon when our clients and contacts need delivery partners for their social value commitments.
Recognition — the transformacy Social Value Network member badge to display on your own website, signalling your place in a trusted community.
Connection — a place within a growing community of like-minded, purpose-led organisations.
