We at Climate Vision Ltd are often asked to provide climate talks for groups who do not have a budget for our costs (such as travel and printing) or our time, which sometimes can fill a day.
We also spend time trying to effect policy change by providing examples and activities to demonstrate sustainable solutions related to flooding and adapting to wild weather. This can be incredibly time-consuming and would benefit from some financial support for costs.
Climate Vision is naturally a Social Enterprise, but it was time to make it official. Last year a group of us set up Shaping Climate Vision, a new Community Interest Company (CIC), to seek funding to fill the gap Climate Vision has been facilitating for over a decade.
The good news: no sooner had we done that, than the new CIC received funding from The National Lottery to provide 12 climate talks across Cornwall over 12 months.
Just as Climate Vision delivers talks largely to businesses, Shaping Climate Vision CIC will help communities and individuals understand a little more about climate change and what we can all do to protect ourselves and play our part, however small, in reducing it.
If you are concerned about climate change and unsure where to start on such an enormous task, these talks are ideal for you. Our sessions are friendly and will give you easily digestible information to get you well-positioned to make a difference. There’s coffee and chat afterwards and, importantly, we’ll leave you with some actions so you can carry on the good work at home.
Some comments about our Climate Vision talks:
“It’s just fascinating. The way you frame the challenge is perfect. I learned lots from you. Thank you.”
“I spent Saturday morning at a Climate Emergency workshop, listening to the inspiring Luci Isaacson speak about the Climate Vision 10 Pledges. As a result, we are aiming as a family to eat two locally-sourced, seasonal meals a week, and to share a pic to inspire others (Pledge 2).”
“Some instant feedback and commitment to action: my team leader loved your talk and is challenging the whole team to commit to at least one pledge and compare how we’ve done each month. I can’t wait!”
“Your presentation this morning was excellent. I felt inspired and motivated, and have already been promoting the 10 pledges out to my team.”
“Luci’s style was engaging and poignant, down-to-earth, matter of fact, enthusiastic and encouraging. My whole team left the event inspired to make a difference, and everyone has made at least two of the 10 pledges.”
