How to get started with individual action AND look after your wellbeing whilst doing so.

This interactive workshop includes time for conversation and reflection on fears around climate change and helps you choose meaningful actions you can take to make a difference and connect with others.

Free event at Ely Library. Please book in the library or contact Ely.referral@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

Human-made climate change, and associated impacts on nature and on our way of life are very real and very present. Yet, this is still a subject that many people find difficult to face or talk about with those around them.  It can be equally difficult to choose where to begin to take action, let alone feel confident that such action will have sufficient impact. The net result can be isolating and overwhelming. This interactive seminar is an opportunity to air and hear your fears voiced with and by others. It will enable you to explore how to begin positive action in a way that gives you meaning, connects you with others and also nurtures your wellbeing.
