The Balsam Centre hosted Wincanton’s first climate fair on Saturday 27 May. Organised by Good Stuff project worker James Remington, the fair took as its starting point the belief that, through community action, we can all do our bit to address the climate emergency. A range of local groups and businesses with an interest in the environment and sustainability came together for the event, including One Planet Wincanton, Carymoor Environmental Trust, Bootmakers and Green & Healthy Future Frome.
The desire amongst our local community to engage with sustainability issues was one of the strongest messages to come through from the Good Stuff consultations, and it is hoped that this will become a regular event in Wincanton’s calendar.
