Jeanette Fitzsimons is our patron.
We work to strengthen our communities in the immediate, mid and long-term future, with emphasis on energy, food, water and community resilience.
To achieve this, we give free energy advice, organize insulation flash-mobs and provide local climate change action; we work on low carbon transport solutions, collaborate to build a model relocatable cosy home to demonstrate housing for the future and support the Cosy Homes Trust; we aim to build a wind farm to generate local renewable electricity and income that can be reinvested in positive community projects, provide expert advocacy and much more.
