Sustainable Education in Devon Schools

Resource Futures has been delivering waste education in Devon since 2008. In September 2012 we were delighted to gain a new contract to run both the waste and the energy education programmes in Devon schools. Both are funded by Devon County Council and are therefore free to schools.
