Upcoming Events for October 2020

Some of you might like to join in this week’s Havant Climate Alliance meeting. Julie Thain-Smith who is now Havant Borough Council’s cabinet member for the Environment and Climate is going to join and tell us what she is planning.

If you’d like the link please email [email protected]

This is near the end of FOE’s week of action on a Green and Fair Recovery and if you use social media, you should have seen lots of requests for good ideas which we can feed back to Havant Borough Council.

So do send in your suggestions to Sue James [email protected] or to Margaret Lockyer [email protected]

These are all part of One World Week in the Portsmouth area and you can find more information: http://www.campaign.exchange/campaigns/one-world-week-2020-2/
