Yes – the Guild has been a long-running celebration and unique part of British heritage, but to ensure that future generations will be able to carry on the traditions on a healthy planet we are doing our best to make Preston Guild 2012 the greenest Guild yet. With a specific Guild Green Charter we will work towards a greener city, offering advice for local businesses and residents on how to improve their carbon footprint. From carbon neutral transport to recycling schemes, a sustainable events management approach and green energy to power Future City – we are pulling out all the stops.

And it is not just about the environmental credentials, we are also working to develop sustainable communities by getting people involved and connected and adding to the cultural offering in the local area.
