This vibrant piece of public art in the theme of “Together our planet, together our future” will brighten up The Meadows, reminding you about the areas collective hope for the future. Keep your eyes peeled for an exhibition coming to the Bridgeway Shopping Centre and Meadows Library in the new year!

A 'one stop shop' for climate-related information, our Knowledge Bank will equip you and your family with resources to understand the facts about home and living, lifestyle choices and more. As well as being located online, hard copies will soon be available at The Meadows Library.

From lessons in our local Primary Schools, to monthly open-to-all workshops on a range of topics chosen by you, for the entire community, there are plenty of opportunities to get inspired, find your voice and form your own thinking around the topic of Climate Crisis.

We are looking for Climate Champions to support us with community engagement, and to learn what it takes to build a movement and run effective campaigns. We’ll help you with training opportunities, followed by further learning and community support from our team.

We are conscious that we don’t have all the answers, and that you know what is important and impactful within The Meadows. The Ideas Fund will open annually for small and large Meadows groups to bring their ideas to life. Each year, up to 6 projects will receive funding up to £2,000.

Learn skills in low carbon retrofit for your home, and join street teams to help others. The training topics will range from entry-level energy saving DIY retrofit skills, such as draught proofing, or insulating pipes and water tanks, to more intermediate processes such as insulation of walls, loft and floors.

To work out the best ways to save energy, we need to understand how we use and lose energy in our homes. We will be inviting the Meadows community to share information about their energy use to help us build an interactive web application, with tailored advice to help every resident save energy and money, while creating more comfortable homes.

In-depth home consultations will be available to help you find out exactly what your household needs to do to become future-fit. We will create tailored, stepped action plans, produced by qualified professionals, with advice on everything from the easy wins to planning for the big jobs. Plus, we will work with you to realize these!

Our materials bank and tool share will equip you to undertake small and simple DIY repairs or bigger retrofit projects yourself, without the need for a large budget. We will offer easily accessible tools and quality building materials at a low or no cost to you.

Discover the energy efficient homes and buildings right in your area. Our tours will show you the different levels of low carbon living others have adopted helping you to see what is in it for you.
