This event forms part of our ongoing work to support local climate adaptation, biodiversity, and community action. Our aim is to bring together organisations, residents, and volunteers to share knowledge, inspire practical action, and shape future priorities for Alcester.  The event will be structured around four themes:

“Habitats” – Biodiversity Focus
Promoting support for pollinators, hedgehogs, and native species, alongside practical guidance on habitat creation and wildflower planting.

“Energy & Waste” Advice
Offering residents advice on energy efficiency, cost-saving measures, and low-carbon living, including climate adaptations that mitigate the risk of flooding and drought, especially in the garden (water smart gardening).

“Action & Volunteering Hub”
Connecting residents with local initiatives such as tree and hedgerow planting, litter reduction, and community growing projects.

“Map Your Future” Interactive Wall
An opportunity for residents to share ideas and priorities directly onto a large map, helping inform future planning and funding bids.

We would also like to have short expert led talks throughout the afternoon and crafts and activities, such as making your own sausage dog draught excluder.  We would be delighted if your organisation could attend, host a table, provide materials, or contribute to the programme in a way that suits you. Please let us know if you would also be interested in delivering a short informal “Meet the Expert” session.  We hope you can join us for what promises to be a positive and impactful community event.
