Need project support?
Do you, or does your organisation have an idea for a project that needs support ?
‘Renew Wales’ is a practitioner led programme, delivered through the Big Fund, to help Welsh communities tackle the impact of climate change. The support will be through advice, training and mentoring. Activities could include developing community renewable energy resources, starting local food clubs, making land and buildings more sustainable and energy efficient, sustainable travel projects, establishing community owned enterprises and engaging schools and business in climate change action. Get in touch with Delyth Higgins at Sustainable Swansea, (01792 480200) who is also a RW co-ordinator and is waiting to hear from groups or organisations in the Swansea area who are keen to get involved and have some additional support for their project or idea. Visit Renew Wales to get more information and see what's already been achieved. |
