The Climate Champions programme provides training, connection-building, and ongoing peer-support to local – and aspiring – community leaders.
It's designed to help drive positive change for residents and our environment.
The offer forms part of H&F's top-charting Climate and Ecology Strategy (PDF, 624KB) which guides our work with residents, businesses and community groups to take Climate Action Together.
Training and ongoing support
The Climate Champions programme includes training to build knowledge of the local impacts of our changing climate, alongside workshops to develop skills in community engagement, project planning and leadership.
All H&F Climate Champions also gain access to further learning resources and dedicated networking groups where they can continue to share tips and develop ideas.
We are here to learn and I have enjoyed being part of this. It has made me think more and I will be working towards getting my project started with the other members of my estate committee"

Following training, the H&F Climate Team continue to work closely with our Climate Champions to support their community-based projects and connect them with the council's wider programme for delivering on the Climate and Ecology Strategy.
It's also great to know we are backed by the [H&F] Climate Team, it gives added credibility, and I now feel more confident in pitching my idea as a 'Climate Champion'"
