The next meeting of Sustainable Charlbury will be at 8pm Monday 6 September.
Not just that we’ll be reinvigorated after the summer break – but having done so much to raise awareness this year locally, it’s time to make plans for action!
SusCha has been successful in awareness raising activities of sustainability issues, but has lacked resources to develop projects that would achieve tangible change.
Last year we applied for significant funding to the Dept. of Energy Low Carbon Communities Challenge for local projects. Hook Norton were winners of this funding, but because of government delays in actually making the money available, are running short of time to allocate the grant they were awarded. There may therefore be an opportunity to revive our plans in the SusCha application.
We’ve invited Tim Lunel and Charlie Luxton (the architectural designer and broadcaster) from Hook Norton to speak to us about their project so far and talk about opportunities for grant funding.
We want to involve as many people as possible in the lead up to a planned announcement in late October. Time is therefore short for Charlbury to realise its plans to benefit the local community. We really hope to benefit from your input from a many local people as possible.
We’ve booked a bigger room than usual – the Cornbury Room (behind The Bell) – so remember to arrive early.
