Sustainable Keswick

Sustainable Keswick was established in 2007 and aims to tackle the climate crisis here in Cumbria by making positive changes in their local community. To do this, it runs projects and campaigns based around three core sustainability goals: reducing carbon emissions, improving biodiversity and reducing waste. Within these three core aims, the group encourages volunteers to take on projects tackling specific issues, such as energy, food and agriculture, waste and transport. The group, which has one member sitting on the town council, also actively campaigns at both a local and national level for a sustainable future both for our environment and for our communities.

Regular Meet Ups

The group holds a monthly ‘core group’ meeting to guide and plan activities and a quarterly ‘Green Get Togethers’ usually on a Monday evening, for members and non-members alike to come together to learn about a particular climate related topic, whether this is through a dedicated speaker event, an environmental film night, or a round table conversation between members. We also have a monthly climate café at the Drop in Centre, usually with a presentation followed by a lively discussion.
