Wednesday 2 November Strategic Planning meeting

A message from our convenor, Claire Lord

Watching the news this Summer I’ve seen reports of record breaking temperatures, widespread drought, horrific ‘mega’ wildfires and floods of truly tragic proportions. I’ve felt grief, worry, frustration and helplessness.

A large source of solace for me in these times is knowing that I am not alone in these feelings, and there are things that I can do to help.  I joined 2G3S because I benefit from meeting other people who share my concerns, and who can give me ideas of what I can do in my own home to live more sustainably.  I also enjoy joining with others to try and have a positive influence on a wider scale.  The benefit of synergy is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

2G3S is a friendly and informal group where visitors and new members are always welcome.  Sometimes people just come along because they are interested in a particular topic, or would like to join in on a more regular basis.

In November we are having a ‘Strategic Planning Meeting’ where we will discuss themes such as what issues we feel we should be working on as a group, and how we are achieving our mission statement. From there we will brainstorm some ideas of what we would like to do next year. It is an open meeting and all are welcome, even if you have never met us before!

So, if you fancy getting involved in a Repair Cafe, discussing ideas on how to reduce single use plastic, rewilding a garden, planning a campaign or just listening in to the discussion – come along and join us and input your thoughts and ideas.

We’re meeting on Wednesday 2nd November, at 8pm in Cox’s Close Community Room, Stapleford. Please email 2G3S (greengroupssss@gmail.com) to let us know if you are planning to come along or even if you would just like to send us some ideas!
