Climate Psychology talk

Wednesday 22 January 7:00pm - 8:00pm, St Andrews Church Hall, Kettering NN16 8RG
This talk is being given by Dr Emmie Williamson, who has been a very good guest speaker at our public meetings. This event will be the same talk that Emmie gave to CA-WN in March 2024 - well worth seeing if you missed that meeting, or would enjoy seeing the talk in person.

Clean Air Northamptonshire meeting - Clean Air Night

Wednesday 22 January 7:00 pm, The Charles Bradlaugh, 1 Earl Street, Northampton, NN1 3AU
Anybody interested in learning more about air pollution is welcome to attend Clean Air Northamptonshire's meeting on Clean Air Night for a drink and a chat.  The group will look at the air quality impacts of various local government policy documents such as the Air Quality Action Plan, the draft Local Transport Plan, and the draft Climate Change Strategy.

Wednesday 12 February 8:00pm - 9:00pm (online)
Climate Cafes offer a safe space to share how you are feeling about climate change. There is no pressure to join in, no commitment to attend subsequent events, just conversation with like-minded people.
These monthly events are open to anyone and we are often joined by people from other parts of the UK and even other parts of the world.

The WI would like as many people as possible to join them for a short time just before 11am to help promote Towcester and to witness the surprise!
