Ludlow 21

Ludlow Fairtrade Town Group AGM 2024 – 2025 at 2.30pm on Tuesday 2nd December at the Wheatsheaf Pub, Lower Broad Street, Ludlow.
All welcome. We’re hoping to have a very short business part of the meeting , followed by a discussion on how we can shape what we do over the next year and looking ahead further. We want views and a vision for events and activities. We are looking for a vibrant and sustainable  group that can continue to be enthusiastic and can represent the developing Fairtrade scene

For November’s Green Drinks on Friday 21st November we are offering a workshop in conjunction with Marches Energy Agency.  This will have a similar format to the ‘Climate Fresk’ workshop which you may remember from earlier this year.

The venue is the Unicorn on Lower Corve Street, and there is an earlier start time of 6.30pm but refreshments will be provided.  Booking is essential for this event.  For full details and to book, please go to https://tinyurl.com/naturemattersludlow

An informative, fun and interactive workshop to discover how human activity can damage the environment and what you can do to help nature.

Discover what’s happening to our planet, why it’s happening and what you can – and can’t – do about it.

Are you concerned about nature loss but not sure what to do?

Meet others who share your concerns, hear about what is happening in your local area and how you can get involved with your community.

All information shared in the workshop is taken from the IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services) and is scientifically agreed facts.

The Ludlow 21 AGM for the financial year 2024/24 will take place on Thursday 13th November from 7pm at Ludlow Brewery.

The AGM is an opportunity to reflect on our past year’s activities, for members to have an opportunity to ask questions about the organisation’s activities and accounts, and for new Directors to be elected to the Board.

Following the formal business of the AGM we will be reprising our previous successful format of a ‘Green Power Hour’ offering local groups the chance to speak (3-5 mins each) about their work relating to environment and sustainability.

This October offers a unique opportunity to visit beautiful ‘green’
homes around Ludlow and across Shropshire and Herefordshire.

Run by local charity Marches Energy Agency, Green Open Homes is a free
event where people open their doors to show you how to save money and
carbon, and have a cosier home. Learn about insulation, heat pumps,
solar panels and batteries from people like you – with no salesmen!

No need to book, just turn up during the times and dates listed. To find

Green Drinks started over 20 years ago as part of an international initiative heading into the Millennium and raising awareness of the need for environmental change.  Many towns held Green Drink evenings/meetings regularly, including Ludlow which has met on the 21^st of every month.

Since the pandemic, however, attendance has fallen and we would like your views on whether there is support for Green Drinks to continue in Ludlow and if so, in what ways.

We would like your views! Please take a few minutes to answer the questions in our survey by following the link below:
