We are currently running a supported, fully funded programme for secondary schools in the North East of England, South Yorkshire, the Midlands and South Wales, in partnership with the National Lottery Community Fund.
Join our supported Good Life Schools programme and receive:
- An all-staff teacher education session on Good Life Schools to equip your school with the knowledge, resources and approaches to support young people develop resilience to consumerist pressures
- A programme launch assembly and workshop delivered by your Community Engagement Leads
- Step-by-step guidance and a pack of teaching resources and activities to support your school run the programme across the academic year
- Ongoing planning support from your designated Good Life Schools Community Engagement Lead
- Funding of up to £2,000 to help you deliver the project in your school
- Free workshops from local community organisations
- Access to the Good Life Schools Support Network and Newsletter
- Student and staff invites to local and national Celebration Events, providing the opportunity to meet with, and learn from, other schools
How it works
Your school will be supported by an experienced Community Engagement Lead, who will work alongside a Lead Teacher in your school to deliver the programme as an extra-curricular opportunity during a term and time of your choice.
Together, you will guide a group of students at your school through the Good Life Schools changemaking process:
- Get to know your Good Life Group
- The Good Life vs The Goods Life
- Design a Good Life project
- Celebrate and share your story

Not in a supported region?
You can still be part of the Good Life Schools Community
We know that interest in creating more connected and values-led school communities where young people can live happy, healthy and sustainable lives goes far beyond our currently supported regions. If your school is outside of the North East, South Yorkshire, the Midlands, or South Wales, we’d still love to hear from you. There are still plenty of ways to get involved in the Good Life Schools programme and join a growing national network of changemakers.
Join as a school
Our team are working hard to develop a Good Life Schools programme that you can deliver independently at your school. While our self-directed offer isn’t quite ready yet, here’s how you can stay connected and be the first to know when it is:
- Sign up to our Good Life Schools newsletter. Stay in the loop with inspiring stories from schools already running the programme, practical ideas to use in your classroom, and updates on when our self-directed resources become available
Partner with us
If you’re part of a local authority or multi-academy trust working with a cluster of schools, we’d love to explore a partnership approach to bring the Good Life Schools programme to your area. Find out more about our partners.
Thanks to National Lottery players, Global Action Plan received over £1.1m from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest community funder in the UK, supporting the Good Life Schools project.
