Here comes the sun!

It’s hard to believe, but it’s only four months since the newest addition to the 10:10 family - Solar Schools - stepped gingerly out into the sun.

For a (super cute) reminder of what it’s all about, watch the video below!

We’re thrilled to say that our schools have already raised over £70,000 to become cleaner, greener places for pupils to learn. Against the backdrop of a recession and a turbulent time in the solar industry, we think that’s pretty incredible!

It's been another amazing year for the 10:10 community, and we wanted to do something a bit special to celebrate everything we've achieved together.

So we've put together a bumper 2011 roundup page, featuring all the highlights of the last 12 months.

E.P. Collier celebrates having raised enough funds to put solar on their school's roof!

This week, we got a very big step closer to the first Solar Schools panels going up, kicked off the search for new 10:10 members of staff and share some end-of-year carbon cutting news from Denmark.

  • We've been celebrating E.P. Collier School in Reading this week as they are the first of our Solar Schools to have smashed their fundraising target! And well ahead of schedule as well! Next step is to get the rig up on the roof. We'll keep reporting on their and other schools' progress, so watch this space.  

Christmas comes early for Solar Schools!

It may be getting chilly outside, but at our Solar Schools across the UK, things just keep heating up (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, blame the festive season)! Our first school has just hit its target - huge congratulations to E.P. Collier Primary School in Reading!

This is a brilliant result, and it's all thanks to their incredible donors, who pitched in generously to help a school do something amazing. Santa would be so proud!
