Discussing Our Interests in Community Energy in the West Northamptonshire Area

Tuesday 8 September 7:00pm - 8:00pm (online)
The meeting is organised by the Energy Group of West Northamptonshire Climate and Nature Partnership (WNCAN), who are keen to promote the development of community energy projects in our area.  
Community energy projects are now numerous around the UK, though NOT in West Northamptonshire. The UK government, through Great British Energy, is keen to support local groups who want to develop projects in their area. By coming together, communities can unlock opportunities to produce their own renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions, lowering energy bills for local buildings like schools, community centres and the homes of residents' groups, and keeping financial benefits within the area.
Organisations such as Community Energy GO and Community Energy Pathways are now offering professional advice and detailed support to community groups who want to work up a Community Energy project. If you're interested in discussing these ideas with other West Northamptonshire residents, then why not register to attend this free online meeting.
The energy embedded in sunshine and wind is there to harvest on every square metre of the Earth. So, let’s get on with it!

Climate Justice - Scenes from Malawi

Wednesday 9 September 7:30pm - 9:00pm, Octagonal Hall, Our Lady of Victories, Market Harborough, LE16 9QQ
Event hosted by Harborough Climate Action - a Malawian PhD student, Jessie Akambadi, will talk about how we might learn from the way Malawians are adapting to climate changes.

CA-WN Public Meeting -"I invented my own job in sustainability"

Thursday 17 September 7:45pm - 9:00pm, online
The guest speaker for this meeting is making a return visit. Back in January 2024 Ellen Worrell and Hannah Bedard from Green Welford gave us a presentation on Carbon Literacy . Now Ellen has kindly agreed to come back and talk about what she is doing now in her new role driving sustainability initiatives for the Peterborough Diocese Educational Trust, which manages 36 schools across Northamptonshire, Rutland and Peterborough. Ellen's enthusiasm for this work is obvious and it is always refreshing to hear about good work being done to tackle climate change.
