We know there's lots of groups doing great work across Yorkshire and the Humber running #repaircafes, libraries of things and share/reuse initiatives. If you're involved, please do our quick survey (link below). We would love to hear about what would be helpful for you. 🖊️

Our Climate Commission in #Leeds, created in 2017, was the first of its kind, but now there are climate commissions around the UK following a similar model. If you're interested in how to start one, @PCANcities have released a 'recipe book' for how to do it!
