Communications support
The National Communications Advisory Panel (NCAP) was established in 2015 to allow council, Government, and community sector stakeholders to work together to co-create and deliver citizen behaviour change, including developing and amplifying WRAP campaigns. The group meets regularly to collaborate to share best practice in communications and discuss key behaviour tracker survey outputs. If you have a query about NCAP, please get in touch.
WRAP coordinates Northern Ireland actions for European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) in November each year, promoting the campaign and providing administrative support to partners to register their activities.
