If not now! WHEN?

Our planet, our neighbourhoods and our own lives, require us to act now on climate change. We need to live more sustainably and to strengthen our communities. Join us in doing so.

About us

We are a group of local people who are concerned about the impact that climate change is having upon the planet. As individuals, we had all felt the need to take action. The group was formed partly as a means to motivate and support one another, but primarily it was intended to serve as a vehicle for action. Global warming is an issue that we can no longer afford to ignore. To do so will be at the expense of our children’s futures and lives.

The group’s main focus is upon making our individual lives more sustainable so that our lifestyles will have a lighter impact upon the planet. Allied with this is our desire to strengthen and enliven our local community.

We meet occasionally as a whole group. The WHEN sub-groups meet regularly and organise community workshops and activities. The current sub-groups are Sustainable Housing, Gardening & Food and Sustainable Transport.

If you also would like to act on climate change, then please join us. We look forward to meeting you and to working together with you in order to develop a more positive and secure future for our community and for the world.

One of our members, Annie March, offers a personal view of becoming involved with WHEN.

Upcoming events:

We have a number of activities being planned and many more at the idea stage. We are very keen to get your input and to receive any suggestions for activities that you would like to see happening this year. Especially let us know if you have any skills or knowledge that you would like to share with other WHEN members.
