Join the Sustainable House Day 2025 program as a Community Partner and play a vital role in empowering households to tackle climate change through peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. Running throughout May 2025, these events complement the flagship Open Homes Day on Sunday 4 May, offering additional opportunities for engagement through in-person and online activities tailored to your region.
Why Host a Community Partner Event?
No one knows your neighbourhood better than you! By partnering with Sustainable House Day, your organisation can:
- Connect with a national audience passionate about sustainability.
- Showcase local innovation and leadership in sustainable housing.
- Strengthen your community’s network of homeowners, councils, and sustainability experts.
Community Partner Events are a cornerstone of the Sustainable House Day program, designed to inspire, educate, and mobilise individuals to make meaningful changes in their homes.
