About this Event
Swindon Community Day for Climate and Nature
Join us for a day full of practical ideas, inspiration and local resources to help you take action on climate and environmental issues.
We'll explore ways that councils, schools, faith and community groups can work together for the environment, mitigate the effects of climate change and make Swindon a greener, healthier place to live.
Please reserve a free ticket to attend, and also fill in the Expression of Interest if you can engage more or help us in any way with the event.
