Thanks to a local member who has liaised with Redruth Town Council and others to organise a People's Emergency Briefing (PEB), please see the posted shared here, as the PEB on Wednesday 17th June in Redruth is now open to the public to attend. That particular PEB is not organised by Redruth Town Council. Any enquiries, please contact Ben Stollery.

If anyone would like to attend, please RSVP Ben on his email shown on the flyer, so that he can organise seating etc.

I have attended a previous showing and have another meeting with Redruth's Climate Action Partnership meeting that clashes. That meeting is hosted by Redruth Town Council.

I anticipate the need for meetings and discussions, following the showing, so look forward to being of assistance.

Tread carefully! A gentle reminder from North Cornwall National Trust if you're intending to visit the poppies at West Pentire. Please keep to the paths, and your dog on a lead.

Please remember that the fields are home to thousands of species of plants, small mammals, and ground nesting birds. They deserve space to be left undisturbed so they can thrive for years to come.

Bring clothes that need mending to Sustainable Hayle's Mendathon at Hayle Repair Cafe in Hayle Day Care Centre this Saturday 13 June 10.30am-12.30pm.

Join us this Saturday, our volunteers will have sewing machines to tackle clothing repairs and our usual electrical and bike repairers. Pop in for a free coffee and chat :)

𝐁𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥! Some ads on Facebook and Instagram pretend to be from the Government. They target people who live in social housing (pay rent to a council or housing association) and have problems like damp and mould.⁣
⁣
❌ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐦: These ads are from private companies, NOT the Government.⁣
- They look like official GOV.UK pages.⁣
- If you use them, they may take 𝟐𝟓% (𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞) of your money as a fee.⁣

2. 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭: If they do not fix it, write a formal complaint. Look on your council or housing association's website for how to do this.⁣
3. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧 (𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞): If the complaint fails, you can go to a free, independent service called the Housing Ombudsman Service. They can order your council or housing association to pay you or fix the problem.⁣
4. 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 (𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧): You can take your case to court, but this can be expensive and stressful. You may get free legal help from charities like Shelter.⁣

🍃 Are you interested in community energy? Come to connect, collaborate and grow new local energy projects across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly at this practical networking event.

Join us for a collaborative and hands-on day bringing together groups, organisations and individuals. It's on Wednesday 1 July 1pm-6pm at Wadebridge Town Hall in north Cornwall.

The new Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Community Energy Network is an initiative led by Community Energy Plus and Cornwall Climate Action Network.

It aims to strengthen connections, share knowledge, and support the growth of locally-owned energy projects across the region. This is one of a series of five hands-on events to develop it.

👉 Reserve your spot via Eventbrite:

It's a key moment for Cornwall as the new publicly-owned Great British Energy company sets out its Local Power Plan to expand community-led energy projects. These will reduce energy costs, cut emissions, and build local resilience - particularly during extreme weather.

Big thanks to Wadebridge Renewable Energy Network - WREN for hosting this event.

Do you live in the far west of Cornwall? Join in these community screenings of the People's Emergency Briefing coming up soon in St Just, Pendeen, and St Erth.

In this powerful National Emergency Briefing film, leading UK scientists explain the climate and nature crisis. They reveal the latest evidence and what it means for food security, health, extreme weather, and the cost of living.

Afterwards take part in a conversation to reflect on the challenges we're all facing and talk about what action you can take in your own community.

We highly recommend you come to one of these special community screenings, many hosted by Cornwall Climate Action Network's grassroots member groups and organisations.
