Chris Packham’s jaw-dropping and vitally important new film about the climate and nature crisis is coming to Bishop’s Castle this week, with 3 showings to choose from on both Friday 17th & Saturday 18th April at The Stars Shop, BC.

Nine leading UK scientists and experts share the latest evidence on critical issues like:

🍞Food security

🌧 Extreme weather

🏥 Health

💷 Cost of living

The film will be followed by a discussion about what we can do locally to ensure our politicians are taking this national security threat seriously.

You can watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/JaI-dHgh65Q

The film is free and no booking is required.

Lightfoot will be showing the Peoples' Emergency Briefing film on Friday 17th & Saturday 18th April at The Stars Shop in BC, at 3 different times to ensure as many people as possible can view the film and take part in the discussion after.

*The film is free and no booking is required.

The aim of the showings is to both generate community awareness of these issues, and to also put pressure on political representatives - who will hopefully be present - so they can then persuade the government to show the film as a televised emergency broadcast to the whole country.

More details on the poster below.

Lightfoot is going to be showing the National Emergency Briefing film in Bishop's Castle in the next month or two.

We're still finalising the details, so watch this space.

The National Emergency Briefing was commissioned to present the latest evidence, and build an irresistible call for the Government to stage a televised emergency briefing.

And the key goal of showing the films to local communities is to both inform people of the very real issues and challenges we all face, AND so that more people can then put pressure on the government via their local MPs who attend, in order to achieve the aim of a televised emergency briefing.

The Big Plastic Count

For one week in March, thousands of people will be counting every piece of plastic packaging they throw away. Together, we’ll uncover the true scale of the UK’s big plastic problem and call on the government to do more about it.

Count your plastic for one week from 9 to 15 March.

Sign-up here to take part: https://thebigplasticcount.com/sign-up/

And please share with your family, friends, school, business or organisations you're involved with.

It's more important than ever to bring people together to learn, grow, share and skill up.

Inspired by .community.collective in Yorkshire, we're launching a 'Grow Club' at Little Woodbatch for 2026.

The need for building resilience in our food system goes hand in hand with building community: Action is the antidote to despair. Through local Action we can come together in practical ways and rethink how we can show up for each other, nature and Earth systems.

If you are local to Bishop's Castle & surrounding area and are interested in joining, please get in touch! Limited to 10 spaces.
