Climate Day
Sheffield Unitarians invite you to their Climate Day! How might we respond effectively to Climate Change, not just as individuals but as groups and institutions?
Free event at Channing Hall, Surrey Street, Sheffield. Organised by the Sheffield and District Association of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches
Whilst the event is free, booking is nevertheless required as places are limited.
Attendees from churches and other places of worship, and other community groups, particularly ones with responsibility for buildings, are most welcome. Whilst there will be a spiritual/religious motivation for many attendees, the event is open to folk of all faiths and none. Individuals welcome but small groups of trustees/committee members or similar ideal for taking learning (e.g. regarding building management and finance) back to your setting.
