Start Initiative - Inside2Outside help out

Prince Charles opened the garden of his London home for a 12-day public festival from September 8th to September 19th. Clarence House hosted the event, which was part of Prince Charles Start Initiative that promotes sustainability.

The high profile event was attended by a number of celebrities who took part in the launch and the festival included exhibitions and a range of activities.

The Start Initiative is set up to encourage and aid people in the UK to have a more sustainable lifestyle, as well as a way of promoting green practices, such as solar power.

Inside2Outside have an excellent relationship with Batley Girls High School, who are National Lead Sustainable School. Batley Girls High School was one of only six schools in the country to take part in the event. For the festival Batley highlighted their contribution towards a sustainable future.

Having installed a large canopy to cover their amphitheatre, as well as a Patiola, Inside2Outside were selected by the school to be a partner at the event. Being partners we supplied a tensile fabric roof fitted with photovoltaics cells (PV) to power the lighting for the school pavilion structure.

The PV used has unique characteristics, generating clean, green electricity from lower light levels than previous photovoltaic options, meaning it is ideally suited to the UK.
