About Climate Club
What exactly is Climate Club?
Climate Club is a series of 8 meetings, held in the evening over 8 weeks, for people to find out more about climate change, connect with other people who live in and around the Milton Keynes area, and to find new and positive ways to respond to the challenges we face. Meetings are held one evening per week, following a journey of education, reflection and discussion. Climate Club is a friendly and supportive place to explore many complex issues in a positive way. You will leave feeling empowered and informed. Climate Club is completely free including lots of materials and resources. It is an inspiring and worthwhile experience for adults of all ages and backgrounds.
What will I get out of it?
Previous attendees have all said that Climate Club is a very positive experience. It gives you space and time to step back and reflect on what really matters. You will leave with more knowledge about climate change but also feel engaged and inspired to live more purposefully and with practical ideas of how to do so. Together we explore science, habit change, emotions, taking action, collective change and much more. We explore the issues we face, what we can do about it, and how this will help to create a more positive future. You don’t need any special skills or knowledge to attend, just curiosity to find out more. You can come on your own or bring a friend! Why not give it a go and see what you think?
Why would I attend?
Because you probably realise that climate change is a problem or are starting to feel uncomfortable with the way the world is changing, but are unsure where to start or what to do. Perhaps you have been concerned by recent heat waves and would like the chance to talk to other people or maybe you’d like to understand more and need a place to make sense of it all. Maybe you feel frustrated or a little hopeless and would like to feel more positive about the future. Climate Club is designed just for you and will give you the reassurance that there are things we can do, that other people feel the same, and that you don’t have to feel anxious about your role. Climate Club will help you discover that taking climate action can feel empowering and positive!
Do I need to know lots before I attend?
Absolutely not! Climate Club is for adults who are looking to find out more about climate change and the issues surrounding it, without feeling they will be judged or made to feel inadequate. Climate change can be complex, but meetings are easily understood and enjoyable. You don’t need to know anything about climate change before you start, but you will learn lots along the way!
Do I have to attend every meeting?
No, but you will wish you could! Meetings are carefully designed and follow a logical flow of learning, discussing and reflecting (please see the meeting structure page). For this reason, you will gain most if you attend the full journey. However, if you are unable to attend a meeting you will have access to any missed resources via this website and will be able to catch up. Attending Climate Club is a positive, enjoyable experience. It may feel like a big commitment at the start, but you will be glad you gave it a go. Please use the ‘contact me’ page if you would like to discuss this further.
