Local Groups
Sustainable South Brent
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.
Rattery Environment Group
The Rattery Environment Group (REG) is a registered charity which promotes the betterment of the local environment and leisure time facilities. It enables new projects by researching possible new developments, putting together project proposals, negotiating with interested parties and applying for grants, as necessary.
South Brent Community Energy Society
The Society was established to take forward a medium size wind turbine project for the benefit of the community - the V27 wind turbine was installed in 2013. A photovoltaic array has also been installed on the local Recreation Association building. Surplus from these operations go towards the South Brent Community Energy Fund, which has awarded grants totalling almost £76,000 to energy saving projects in and around South Brent.
