Education and engagement are vital in tackling climate change. By providing knowledge and awareness about the environment, we empower individuals to make informed decisions and take meaningful action. Engaging people in the climate challenge fosters a sense of responsibility and collective effort, driving positive change for a sustainable future.

Sustainable South Hams and South Dartmoor Community Energy are hosting an Energy Assembly on Saturday 18th October 2025 in Kingsbridge, exploring how communities, households and businesses in South Hams can accelerate the transition to become more energy resilient.
On Tuesday 17th June we gathered at Follaton House alongside The Bioregional Learning Centre, Devon Climate Emergency, and South Hams District Council to host an afternoon session looking at joined up climate and nature action in South Devon.
We now have a number of well-established projects, including the Marsh Composting Centre, a school garden, a hedges and woodland group and the 4B's. We have more than 200 members. SSB works closely with South Brent Parish Council who declared a Climate and Ecological Emergency in 2019. The Trustee group is presently reviewing strategic priorities and is currently focussing new effort around transport and energy projects.
