Sustainable Bude is a community-led group of volunteers that exists to strengthen the local economy, reduce our environmental impact and build our resilience for a future with a changing climate.
One Project at a Time.

PROJECT NEWS

 

Many of us feel anxious about the climate, so when the Helston Climate Action Group set up a county-wide project providing a safe space to share our worries, we decided to join. Climate Café Listening Circles are confidential sessions where people can speak without judgement about any aspect of the climate crisis, and they’re mediated by a trained facilitator to ensure that everyone can contribute in a non-threatening environment.

The first Climate Café Listening Circle was on 22nd January at Neetside Community Centre, and was well-attended. Ethan Hanna, one of our facilitators said: “We felt it was a really useful learning experience and one to build on in future sessions.”

LATEST PROJECT

100 Warmer Homes

The scheme is designed to help people in the Bude-Stratton area to save on their energy bills while also reducing the energy they consume. By fitting reflective radiator insulation, more heat is retained in the home, meaning you will use less fuel while staying warm.  
 

The reflective material is cut to size and hung behind external-wall radiators, leaving a small air gap to increase efficiency. There is no need to remove radiators or fix the reflectors, so there is no mess, fuss or damage to property.
