Communities

The Suffolk Climate Change partnership provide a service to offer support to community groups and non-profit organisations across the county on a range of climate change and energy related issues.

Working together makes the whole climate change challenge far more enjoyable and achievable. There is already a vast movement of low carbon communities beginning to appear across the country, doing a whole range of actions including bulk buying insulation, forming renewable energy co-ops and car-sharing. Whether you’re a full-blown Transition Town or just a village group concerned with fuel bills, the advisor can help your community move towards a greener, healthier future.

Our Community Advisor can help;

  • Arrange talks, film screenings and events that raise awareness of climate change and energy issues.
  • Assist groups with community carbon footprinting surveys.
  • Give impartial advice to help you develop a community carbon reduction action plan.
  • Identify funding for carbon saving projects. 

Community Development Fund has produced a useful guide called 'Green up! Five ways to work with your council on the environment and sustainability.

 The Suffolk Climate Change Partnership has produced a booklet for householders that provides 'Top Tips' to help householders reduce their impact and save money'. To read these tips, please download it here

 If you are interested in talking to the community advisor, please call the Suffolk Climate Change and Energy Helpline on 0800 02 88 938.
