We’re planning a reboot of Brentwood Climate Act

We’re planning a reboot of Brentwood Climate Action this autumn, and we need help from as many members as possible.

We want to start with a meeting of all interested parties, where we can catch up and discuss priorities for winter and into 2025.

To do this we need more volunteers – both people who want to take up roles on our Steering Group; and those that just want to get involved in ongoing action, either on long term projects such as lobbying, or on an ad hoc basis.

So for now, please put Tuesday October 22 in your diary. And we’ll confirm that and the meeting venue as soon as possible.#climatechange #climateaction #climate #climateemergency #brentwood #brentwoodessex #climatecrisis #essex #climatechangeisreal #climateactionnow #climatejustice #environment

We're going to London on Saturday to join to the @climatejustice_coalition Global Day of Action during #cop28

Meet us at Brentwood Station at 10.15am to catch the train into the city and march under the Brentwood Climate Action banner.

LONDON Day of Action for Climate Justice

⏲12.00 Saturday, December 9th
📍 BP HQ, St James’s Square

💰 While profits continue to soar, working-class individuals and communities around the world struggle to make ends meet. The climate crisis and the cost of living crisis are deeply rooted in our reliance on fossil fuels and an exploitative system. It's time to challenge this system and create a more just and sustainable future.

Join us on December 9th and be part of the movement for system change and a just transition. 💪🏭 #NowWeRise #ClimateAction

We're planning to fully embrace this year’s @the

We're planning to fully embrace this year’s @theclimatecoalition #greatbiggreenweek in the autumn – with an outline of events we could run agreed at this week’s BCA Steering Group meeting.

Together we can show decision makers that people from all walks of life are stepping up to take action on climate change – and we need them to step up too.

So it is definitely something that Brentwood should be participating in. And we need your help – Brentwood Climate Action members, and anyone interested in solutions to the Climate Emergency and nature crisis we face in this country and around the world – to make it happen.

Ideas currently being worked on are:

🍰 Holding a Climate Cafe in the Brentwood Borough area – potentially in Ingatestone, and maybe elsewhere if we can find suitable venues

👍 Litter Pick – building on successful BCA ones held previously in the spring and at the Strawberry Fair… for as many people in the local community to come and join us as possible

📗Green Book Club – hopefully we can stage an event at a local bookshop, giving attendees the chance to get together to talk about, and buy, the latest and best books on climate change, the environment, and the natural world

🎲 A climate change Board Games event – with a variety of environment-themed games available for all to play, giving us a fundraising opportunity and a chance for BCA members to come together for an enjoyable social gathering

Read more on our website in the latest news - website link is in our bio

We’d like to stage these events during the week, and maybe more, but we can’t without more volunteers coming forward to help organise them and run them on the agreed dates.

So please get in touch with us at info@brentwoodclimateaction.org.uk ASAP

Our next Brentwood Climate Action meeting is this

Our next Brentwood Climate Action meeting is this comingThursday (July 21) and has been switched to Shenfield Common – to allow for a more social and engaging gathering, with a focus on the new draft Environment Strategy published by @brentwoodboroughcouncil.

We thought an outdoor meeting on the Common (from 7pm onwards) would allow our growing Membership to get to know each other better.... and the good news is the heatwave will have passed, and the forecast looks very pleasant!

And we will use the launch of the Council’s consultation on their Environment Strategy this month as a focal point to discuss future BCA actions, that we all agree should be taken over the coming months.

Ahead of the meeting please go to the Council website at https://www.brentwood.gov.uk/w/environment-strategy-consultation where you can download the Environment Strategy to read in full. And you can also take part in their consultation surveys from there: for the general public, young people, and businesses.

Steering Group members will be on the Common setting up from 6pm, ready to welcome members from 7pm. And Members are invited to bring drinks and snacks, and blankets/chairs for outdoors seating as required!

We’ll bring along clip boards and pens and the necessary materials to allow us to run feedback sessions, and gather everyone’s comments for a potential overall Brentwood Climate Action response to the Strategy.

So please turn up in your numbers, and with lots of thoughts and ideas on how we should respond to the Strategy, and tackle the critical climate emergency and environmental issues facing Brentwood over the coming years.

We will also be looking at our various Action Groups and how we can improve their running and output. And we’ll be looking ahead to the Great Big Green Week at the end of September, and what sort of events we could run then to engage the wider Brentwood community in climate action.

A repost from BCA steering group member @juliangoode on the launch of a new Brentwood Nature Trail by @essexwildlifetrust Brentwood & Billericay Local Group

Nature first. Something different for the first Jubilee bank holiday morning, joining the launch walk of the Brentwood Nature Trail from @essexwildlifetrust Brentwood & Billericay Local Group - a 3-mile loop to the south of town, taking in some great green spaces.

Ably led by our EWT guide Graham we headed from the @brentwoodboroughcouncil Town Hall south of the town centre and Brentwood @cathedral28 across Shenfield Common and through the extent of its woodland to the railway cutting, going along the pictured stunning lime-lined path, formerly a carriageway to Thorndon Hall.

The trail also took in King George's Playing Fields, the cemetary and woods off Woodman Road, and looped north via Warley Hill and Cornsland. Well worth walking; and they've saved it on the Go Jauntly app, and I've added it as a public route on the OS Maps app and website too.

We'll be at the @brentwoodboroughcouncil Strawberr

We'll be at the @brentwoodboroughcouncil Strawberry Fair next month. Come and see us on the day and find out more about Brentwood Climate Action, our vision for the area, and sign up for free as a member. As well as our stall we'll also be running some free events!

And BCA members, please get in touch ASAP and let us know when you'll be able to volunteer and help us run all the activities - in the run up to June 18 and on that Saturday too.

Donations welcome online now. We've added a new donations page to our website (see homepage link in the Bio and go from there!). If you would like to support us with a donation, we would be very grateful.

We are a completely volunteer-run organisation, with a Steering Group overseeing core activity, and regular meetings of our Membership… now in the hundreds, spread across the Borough of Brentwood.

We decided not to raise a membership fee for anyone to join Brentwood Climate Action, to make it as accessible as possible and the membership as broad as possible as a result.

We therefore rely on grant funding from various sources to take our numerous Actions (and have a Funding Action group actively seeking this on an ongoing basis) – and donations from Members and supporters.
