Big Green Challenge events update
We held our first Big Green Challenge event in Birmingham on Friday. It was brilliant to see people there from a range of different groups and organisations. People who attended said they found it useful to find out more about the Big Green Challenge, and enjoyed meeting other people working on ideas to reduce C02 emissions in their area. Some people starting talking about the potential for collaborating on ideas, and one attendee laid down the gauntlet to the rest of the UK by saying that he felt positive a group from the Midlands would win…
The next event is in Bristol this Friday (9th November). I included links to sign up to most of the events in my blog post of 24th October. To register for the events you can either follow those links or sign up to receive an invite for your nearest event and get future updates on the Big Green Challenge.
We’ve now added three more event dates to our schedule:
Spaces at each event are limited so make sure you register.
Please advise if and when a Big Green Challenge event is being held in Northern Ireland.

Will there be any more Big Green Challenges held in Sheffield?
NESTA is not planning to run another Big Green Challenge after this one ends at the end of 2009. We’re using the Big Green Challenge to learn about how community-led climate change inititives are best supported. We’re hoping it will inspire other organisations to support community-led responses to climate change, and we’re happy to talk through our experience with people who want to set up similar challenges.
We did get some great entries from the Sheffield area, and you can read about some of these here: http://www.biggreenchallenge.org.uk/big-green-challengers/yorkshire-humberside/
