Mayor of Frome, Philip Campagna said: “I’m excited to hear from the speakers and see the important work they are doing to address climate change and biodiversity loss, the impact they are seeing and insights into what we can all be doing more of, either personally or as organisations.
I also think the Climate Fair is a brilliant way to see what groups such as Broadway Community Gardens, Healthy Homes, Frome Families for the Future to name but a few, are doing and how we can follow suit. With activities and film screenings it promises be an inspiring and informative evening, which we can turn into action.”
All are welcome to attend, there will be a light supper served so please do sign up to reserve your space.
