Our process

A more effective way to work

We can work in two ways. Either by providing individual services or by combining a range of services and offering a more joined up solution. We are one of the few companies in our field that can do this because we provide a broad range of services under one roof.

You will be able to demonstrate the outcomes and impacts of your budgetary spend, and through our clear process, identify key areas for improvement and drive increased efficiency and effectiveness in all that you do. Our process normally follows the key stages below:

Understanding
We analyse your situation through consultation and research.

Strategic planning
We look at what needs doing and work out how to get it done.

Action planning
We put together a plan of action to meet your needs.

Delivery
This can include one or more of the following
• A wide range of research services to help you achieve your objectives
• Communications resources to help you get your message across
• Ways to affect behavioural change and make sustainability a habit
• Technical consultancy services built on many years practical experience
• Help services run seamlessly with project management
• Provide resourcing for teams to get the work done

Case Studies

Reducing energy use in Bristol schools

Resource Futures worked in partnership with Bristol City Council, Green Path Solutions and Sustainable Redland to help Bristol Primary schools reduce their energy usage. The key messages were why saving energy is so important to help the environment and save money and how everyone can do their bit to help.

Bulky Waste Guidance

Resource Futures was contracted by WRAP to develop Bulky Waste Guidance for Local Authorities in association with Caroline Lee-Smith. The guidance updated the original toolkit “Bulky Waste Collections; Maximising Reuse and Recycling - A Step by Step Guide” which provides ideas and identifies opportunities to increase the amount of household bulky waste that is reused and recycled.

Devon Composting in Schools project

The Devon Composting in Schools project, delivered by Resource Futures, was possibly the biggest schools' food waste composting programme in the country, involving over 80 Devon primary and secondary schools.

Community RePaint

Community RePaint is managed by Resource Futures. It is a network of projects that collect unwanted surplus paint, diverting it from the waste stream and redistributing it to individuals, families and communities in social need and providing environmental, social and economic benefits for stakeholders.

Community Action Groups

Community Action Groups, CAGs, is a network of 30 local voluntary groups in Oxfordshire. The CAG support team is managed by Resource Futures, and provides hands-on help and advice for groups who organise events and initiatives to raise awareness and take action on climate change issues, in order to live more sustainable and less resource dependent lives in their local community.
