Strawberry Fair: Sunday 14th June 2026
On a glorious sunny afternoon in June the BCA took part in Brentwood’s annual Strawberry Fair. There were hundreds of people in attendance throughout the day, of which many came to see us at our stall.
This year we had plenty of activities on offer. These included a Tree of Pledges, a Climate Meter, a Puppet Show and a free recipe for a chemical-free easy Toilet Cleaner (which had been tried and well tested by its author!)
We attracted many visitors, both young and old, to engage in thinking about their place and roles within the wider context of climate change and to help them decide in what areas or activities they could change within their own lives and/or communities.
As an organisation, it was very heartening to see that many children of all ages had, through education, a solid notion of what climate change is, of what it means and what as individuals, we can do about it.
Overall, we welcomed seven new members. The Tree amounted to 62 pledges to help the environment. The Climate Meter attracted 82 respondents. The Puppet Show ran twice, each to an audience of interested children and to finish, countless families will have spotless toilets without harming the climate, flora or fauna. Job Done! I would say!

The BCA would like to thank all those who helped out, volunteering their time, expertise and skills on what was a very successful engagement with the wider public and the issues that we stand up for. We hope that we have managed to get many people to think about the Climate Crises, and what it truly means.
