Events by other organisations

There are many organisations in the area that are doing a great job at promoting sustainability, and improving our community wellbeing.

The following list provides links to events pages of a few organisations that are known to us. Please let us know if there are others that should be here.

Sustainable Charlbury:

SusCha was formed in October 2006 as a local response to the growing threat of climate change. It is Charlbury based, and is set up to enable change, support and advise, organise meetings and events, and provide a forum for active discussion.

Climate Exchange:

The Oxfordshire ClimateXChange is a new Climate Change project for Oxfordshire. It’s about you, your family, your neighbour, your street, your pub, school, business, church all getting ‘fantastically imaginative’ about climate change.

The Wychwood Project:

The Wychwood Project was established in 1997 to raise awareness of the history and identity of the area, and to work with local communities to restore its rich patchwork of landscapes and habitats within the Wychwood Forest boundaries.
