What we do
Many parishes have declared a climate emergency but don’t know what to do next. Responses often focus narrowly on biodiversity projects, but a much wider response is needed to deliver climate action.
New sustainability projects are started with limited knowledge and experience. Progress is slow and can cause inefficient mistakes. There are no project templates for best practice and starting can be daunting for those wanting to help.
By sharing knowledge and inspiration between our member groups, we support on the ground climate action projects so that change happens, FAST. These projects increase public awareness and engagement which in turn drives behavioural change around climate action.
Through meaningful partnerships and networks we're looking to create a brighter future for people and nature on our whole community. We do this best by connecting, supporting and inspiring each other.
