The Responsible Cafes Stronger Together Cafe Summit is all about driving positive change in the cafe industry to increase customer engagement, reduce waste and carbon emissions, secure sustainable supply chains and drive cafe profitability. If the last year has taught us anything, we know we are stronger working together and creating collaborative impact – nearly as strong as your morning piccolo!

Over the past three years, Jane and Pat have brought a depth of knowledge and experience about sustainability and leadership to Council’s existing school programs.

Events such as summits, webinars and training have been perfectly planned and delivered with overwhelming positive responses from teachers and students.

They are always willing to think outside the square to deliver tailored solutions for individual schools when needed.

Recently, they were able to adapt quickly to the 2020 COVID restrictions to ensure schools were still able to access and benefit from Council programs via an online portal and webinars.

Thanks to their work many of our Moonee Valley schools are now embedding sustainability into their practices, infrastructure and curriculum.
