We're excited to announce the launch of the "Pride of Place" project which will inspire us to see how, in small ways, we can make a big difference and have fun together - take a look at the events programme below.
Recent polling showed that 89% of us want to see more action on climate change and biodiversity loss - if that’s you, book yourself a place and meet up with others!
