Monday 26 January 12:30 -14:00 hours
The National Independent Consumer Organisation (NICO) and the National Council of Women GB NCWGB) are hosting a short online seminar on 26 January 12:30-14:00 hours, and we’d love you to join us.
This session is all about hearing directly from consumers so we can shape future campaigns and drive change that genuinely works for people. NICO is working to fix real problems.
We’ll be talking about everyday consumer issues and sustainability, what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.
Before you join, here are four questions to think about:
- What gets in the way of making greener choices in your daily life?
- Where do you feel sustainability is costing you more than it should?
- What support or protections would make things fairer for consumers?
- What is the role of guidance on eco-friendly claims?
Your experiences and ideas will help us understand what matters most and where action is needed next.
We hope to see you, your voice really does shape the change.
