Redbridge Climate Forum

We're looking forward to the next Redbridge Climate Forum meeting, which is taking place in person on Tuesday 19 November between 6:30pm – 8:00pm in Committee Room no.2 at Redbridge Town Hall in Ilford. This session will centre around community energy projects.

We have some exciting key note speakers attending including Crew Energy, Redbridge's own Transition Town Ilford, and Community Energy for London so please come along and hear about some of the exciting projects that are being delivered in Redbridge and beyond.

We look forward to seeing you there and please be sure to bring a reusable cup if you wish to have any hot beverages.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the next forum meeting at 6:30pm on Tuesday 21^st May 2024, Gloucester Room, Redbridge Central Library.

Redbridge’s Climate Forum meetings bring together local people who are passionate about tackling climate change and caring for the environment. It’s an opportunity to share ideas, learn from one another and take action together. The upcoming Forum focuses on 'sustainable travel'; hearing from local active groups and facilitating discussions between attendees on how they get about the borough and what current barriers are to sustainable travel and how they might be overcome.

A limited number of free stall spaces will also be on offer for community groups to showcase their eco-work at the forum. If you would like to reserve a stall space please get in touch as early as possible. In the event of an over subscription of stall space, community groups showcasing work on sustainable travel will be given priority.

Dear Redbridge Climate Forum members,

Many thanks to those of you who made it along to our recent in person meeting. I would like to extend another word of thanks to our hosts, St Mary’s, for their warm welcome and for sharing some of their Climate Crisis work with us, it was very inspiring. You can find out more on the slides that have been uploaded on the right hand side of this page. Also included on the slides, is an update on progress made by the council and other points of interest including a mention of Spacehive funding and a new platform for members of this forum to interact with each other called ‘Let’s Talk Redbridge'.

The ‘Let’s Talk Redbridge’ page will enable groups and individuals interested in environmental topics to share events, ideas, and information. Please do sign up! If you need any help signing up, please contact: ourneighbourhood@redbridge.gov.uk

As ever, we’d love your feedback. These meetings are hosted by us, for our active community members. So if you’d like to share something of interest, or provide any feedback to shape this forum going forward, please get in touch on the above email or to me directly.

Best wishes,

Jo
