Organisations in North East Wales will be celebrating Great Big Green Week in June from 10th – 18th June and beyond.
The Great Big Green Week is a national celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. The first Great Big Green Week took place in September 2021, and was the largest event for climate and nature ever seen in the UK. Communities came together once more in September 2022 to show how people everywhere are ready and willing to take action to tackle climate change. Over a quarter of a million people got involved, putting pressure on the government to up its game on climate change.
Bobbi Cockroft, Community Organiser, says that:
“Climate Issues are close to the hearts of our member groups and the wider community; we are looking forward to welcoming the public to our Great Big Green Week events to see how we can tackle climate change together”.
In North East Wales there are a large and diverse number of community groups, organisations and businesses engaging with environmental issues – TCC seeks to celebrate them during Great Big Green Week. This is an opportunity to build a movement of people across the region to take action together on Climate Change.
Activities are free and open to all, and will be run by Outside Lives in Flintshire, Y Tŷ Gwyrdd in Denbighsire, and Extinction Rebellion in Wrexham and are supported by Wrexham-based charity TCC (Trefnu Cymunedol Cymru/Together Creating Communities)
