Welcome
SAVE THE DATE for #Covid-safe #SustFest21 – Sunday 23 May to Sunday 6th June 2021.
We love our district – and we want to make it sustainable – for future generations to come. SustFest21 is all about building our community – to help our district become more environmentally sustainable – let’s help strengthen our community networks this year!
Chair of #SustFest21, Jill Watson said:
“We know the lockdown is very challenging for everyone. We asked ourselves if it was the right time to have another festival – especially after the disappointment of cancelling in 2020. However, we believe that local residents are passionate about building environmental sustainability, and threats to our environment just can’t wait. Also, this year the UK hosts the Global Climate Change Conference COP26 and local communities need to get their voices heard.”
You can register an activity FROM 1st Feb 2021 here
The festival encourages community groups, businesses, schools, street groups, and faith groups to organise Covid-safe, environmentally sustainable events and activities for their local communities during the two weeks of #SustFest21 #StaySafe. The aim is to inspire residents across the district to live more sustainably, do practical things to care for the environment and #BeKindToThePlanet.
Activities can be: based online; encourage individuals and household ‘bubbles’ to take action; creative zoom events, and socially distanced ones.
Plans are currently underway to make #SustFest21 safe, flexible and community focused. Stay up to date by signing up to our newsletter here. 🌎 🐳 🌳 😊
