Environment

Swing Patrol is committed to the development of a sustainable future. We recognise that climate justice is social justice, and that our everyday actions are inextricably linked to both. We are taking conscious steps to reduce our dance community’s and our company’s waste and carbon footprints. We acknowledge that if we want to keep swinging out, we must step up.”

Now having made this statement we are aware that much work is required. We have eliminated plastic cups at Red Rhythm and Bishopsgate has joined us in this initiative. We always choose the eco friendly paper stock where and when appropriate but we still produce physical marketing material as for now we find it more inclusive as it reaches people in local communities that don’t always have access to the internet. We acknowledge that this is a journey that we must work at together but we hope for small changes in our family and wider community.
