Join Cate Williams and Julie Nelson for a day of Carbon Awareness Training.
Carbon Awareness is a short 4 hour course, introducing participants to key questions around engaging with climate change in church life. It cover fours questions for an hour each:
Participants will leave the course better equipped to make positive changes in their own household as well as feeling more confident to engage both with church, and others to encourage more people to take this seriously.
As a short 4 hour course, Carbon Awareness can either be delivered as a whole or split into two or more sessions. This pilot of this new material will be on Saturday 8 July, 9.30am-2.30pm at Whiteway Colony Hall GL6 7ER (Please see the note on directions below)
Participants will need to spend 20 minutes before the course completing a simple carbon footprint tool: https://footprint.wwf.org.uk/

From Gloucester direction, B4070 Birdlip towards Stroud; turn left at Fostons Ash pub, and almost immediately, take a left again towards Miserden and Whiteway. As you come down through the village, just after the phone box and postbox on the left and bus shelter on the right there is a turning left, signposted ‘Colony Hall and reading room’. Narrow, unmade lane leads down to parking area by hall. Please park considerately, avoiding blocking house and garden entrances.
