TCP was set up by local residents in August 2021 to reduce the impact of climate change. Membership of TCP is open to all who support our Vision.

Tollesbury Climate Partnership (TCP) is a democratic, voluntary organisation. It's controlled by its members with elected representatives being accountable to the membership. TCP's vision is that our community will be working together to reduce the impact of climate change and protect the Tollesbury we love for future generations. Our objectives are to:
(a) Reduce carbon emissions, protect the environment, and maintain and improve biodiversity;
(b) Research, promote, advise on and instigate community energy schemes;
(c) Raise awareness of the issues associated with climate change, scarcity of resources, and economic sustainability;
(d) Increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change;
(e) Collate information, knowledge, and expertise to advocate and influence policies and plans that relate to climate change; and
(f) Actively working with other stakeholders to harness the energies of the local community to achieve (a) to (e) above. We currently have 6 working groups and need more people to join us! Community Engagement - Julie Heller [email protected]

Phew! We did it! 🎉🌷🌼

What a wonderful morning at Tollesbury Cemetery and Community Orchard for our Community Planting Day!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came along, rolled up their sleeves, got their hands muddy and helped us make Tollesbury an even greener, more beautiful place to live! 💚

And what an achievement! Together, we planted an incredible 675 bulbs, along with an abundance of beautiful wildflowers! 🌱

Here’s what we planted:
💙 150 Bluebells
🤍 100 Snowdrops
💜 100 Muscari (Grape Hyacinths)
💛 100 Wild Daffodils
🌷 100 Wild Tulips
🌸 100 Wood Anemones
🌿 25 Wild Garlic

And we didn’t stop there! 🌼
We also planted a wonderful mix of wildflowers:
🌸 Foxgloves
🌼 Ox-eye Daisies
🌺 Red Campions
💙 Forget-me-nots
🌾 Teasels
💜 Violets
🌻 Mullein

🐝🦋 All these lovely plants will help create a richer, more colourful habitat, providing valuable food and shelter for bees, butterflies and other wildlife.
Just imagine the beautiful displays we have to look forward to next spring and in the years ahead! 🌷🌼

It’s amazing what we can achieve when a community comes together. A little time, lots of muddy hands and a shared love for our village really can make a difference.

Every bulb planted and every wildflower added is a little investment in Tollesbury’s future, bringing more colour, biodiversity and joy for years to come 🌱

❤️ Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who gave up their Sunday morning to help. Whether you fed us tea & delicious cake, planted a handful of bulbs or spent hours digging, you were part of something really special.
We can’t wait to watch it all grow, bloom and flourish!
Together, we’re making Tollesbury bloom! 🌸💚
