Get ready for the Roots & Shoots Awards 2018

On the 9th of March, we’ll be celebrating the annual Roots & Shoots Awards in the beautiful Barbican centre in Central London.

The Awards are a celebration of the achievements of our amazing Roots & Shoots groups who’ve campaigned, researched, raised money, made positive changes, raised awareness and worked as teams and individuals to help people, animals and the environment.

We’ll be joined by 13 schools from across the country, plus a very special guest school; the American Community School who will be joining us all the way from Abu Dhabi and are part of our Roots & Shoots Twinning Programme.

And of course, Dr Jane Goodall herself will be there to celebrate and inspire us.
