What does the climate and nature emergency actually mean for our communities, economy and future? Many people hear headlines about climate change, biodiversity loss and extreme weather, but few have had the opportunity to explore the evidence in one place.

The People's Emergency Briefing brings together leading scientists, experts and public voices to explain the challenges we face and the practical responses available to us.

Following the film, there will be an opportunity for discussion and reflection with others from the local community.

📅 Monday 29th June
📍 Lymm Village Hall
⏰ 6.30pm to 8.30pm
🎟 Free to attend (although a booking required)
👥 Recommended for ages 16+

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to see our stall at FoodFest last week.

We had some great conversations about food waste, affordable food, and the simple changes we can all make at home.

It was also fantastic to share the day with Vantry and the Co-op, who were helping visitors explore practical ways to reduce waste, save money, and make the most of the food they buy.

Food waste can feel like a huge issue, but many of the solutions start with small everyday habits. Judging by the number of people who stopped to chat and ask questions, there is a real appetite in our community to make a difference.

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day such a success.

The People's Emergency Briefing is coming to Lymm.

The UK is facing a growing climate and nature emergency, yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, economy and future.

This 50-minute film brings together leading scientists, experts and public voices to present the latest evidence shared at Westminster, along with credible, positive responses to the challenges we face.

It will be followed by a structured discussion so that, as a community, we can reflect together and explore local action.

Date for your diary: Monday 29th June, Lymm Village Hall, 6.30pm – 8.30pm
* Recommended 16+*

Free entry (booking required) via Ticket Tailor https://www.tickettailor.com/events/lymmresilienceforum/2231578

This is your chance to hear the evidence, understand the risks, and take part in a local conversation about what comes next.

It's important to recognise that Not Everything Belongs in Your Recycling Bin! Did you know many everyday items can be recycled, but just not through your household collection?

Soft plastics are one of the biggest recycling challenges. Items like bread bags, crisp packets, salad bags, cereal liners and pet food pouches often can't go in your kerbside recycling, but they can be recycled at collection points in many supermarkets.
Many retailers also offer recycling for:

* Batteries
* Beauty and cosmetic packaging
* Toothpaste tubes
* Medicine blister packs
* Small electrical items

Our Top recycling tips for you are.
* Keep soft plastics clean and dry
* Store them together and take them on your next shopping trip
* Never put batteries or electrical items in your recycling bin
* Check local retailer schemes for hard-to-recycle items

Remember, recycling correctly is just as important as recycling regularly. Contaminated recycling can mean entire loads cannot be processed. And before you recycle, ask yourself, can this item be reused, repaired or refilled instead?

These small actions at home help reduce waste, conserve resources and keep valuable materials in circulation.

Food waste has a huge impact on our climate & nature. In the UK, millions of tonnes of food are wasted every year, much of it still perfectly edible. When food is wasted, all the energy, water, land, and transport used to produce it are wasted too.

Some key facts about food waste
• Around 70% of UK food waste comes from households
• Wasted food contributes to greenhouse gas emissions
• Fruit, vegetables, bread, and potatoes are some of the most wasted foods
• Reducing food waste is one of the easiest ways to lower our environmental impact

Projects like our local Vantry help tackle this issue by redistributing affordable food back into the community instead of letting it go to waste.
Please come and visit us & Vantry at FoodFest on the 18th of June to learn more about simple changes that can make a real difference.

Happy World Environment Day. Today is a reminder that nature connects us all, and every positive action counts.

From local green spaces to rivers and streets, small everyday choices like reducing waste, planting for wildlife, cutting down on single use plastics, supporting local biodiversity, and using resources more wisely all add up to real, collective impact.

Big change does not come from one action alone, it comes from all of us building better habits over time and staying committed to protecting the environment beyond just one day.

One thing you personally can do is take part in a local clean up, tree planting, or restoration project, and then look at how you can keep going by making small, long-term changes like reducing consumption, supporting nature-friendly initiatives, and encouraging others to do the same.

Please do share with us what you are doing for nature today and the changes you are committing to long term.
