This informal network brings together community groups working to make their area more sustainable – from running repair cafes and growing food to installing community energy schemes.
The groups get together online to share experiences, support each other and sometimes to work together and coordinate activities around a particular topic.
The network meets monthly online and helps the groups to strengthen their influence on carbon reduction at a more strategic level in county, by working collectively as well as campaigning as individual groups. The CSN is an important part of the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership, helping to ensure that the voice of the community takes centre stage in the county’s carbon reduction plans.
The CSN is supported by a coordinator, thanks to the Zero Carbon Cumbria funding from the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund. Helen Attewell is employed by Cumbria Action for Sustainability.
Visit the directory of CSN members and see what each group does.
