A FREE event aimed at strengthening communities and tackling climate change will be held in Coleford on Wednesday, March 12.

The "Strengthening Communities through Climate Action" session will run from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM at The Main Place, offering a chance for residents to explore how climate action can improve lives in the district.

The event will cover a wide range of topics, including how addressing climate change can support efforts to combat the cost-of-living crisis, improve housing, and enhance health, transport, and job opportunities.

Local organisations will share case studies on their climate action plans, offering insights into practical steps residents can take to save money and improve their living and working spaces.

The session will also highlight current local initiatives and provide an opportunity to network.
