Give your feedback on what events you would like

At the Climate Action East Linton gathering in November people were asked to feedback on ideas for events. If you look below you will see which ideas are most popular so far.

It would be great to get feedback from as many people as possible to help the events team organise events that will be most useful. Please let Jen know (communications@cael.community) what events/activities you’d be interested in attending, could help organize, or have related skills for. The numbers next to the items indicate how many people at the meeting showed an interest.  If you have other ideas about things you could help organize, feel free to share them as well. You can email Jen communications@cael.community with your choices, thoughts and questions. Thanks so much!
