The Climate Coalition is the UK’s largest group of people dedicated to action against climate change, comprising over 100 organisations and over 22 million members!


They run an annual national campaign called “Great Big Green Week”. It will take place 18 – 26 September 2021, and will be the largest event for climate and nature ever seen in the UK.


Thousands of events will celebrate how communities are taking action to tackle climate change and protect green spaces, and encourage others to get involved too.

We are organising Croydon's Great Big Green Week but we can't do it alone! 

If you would like to help organise any events, or have any ideas for an event, please use the comment box below.

BIG LOCAL BROAD GREEN

Our vision is that Broad Green village will be a vibrant and thriving place. The stall is to raise public awareness of Big Local Broad Green and our Community Hub.

CAMPAIGN FOR NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT

CND campaigns non-violently to achieve British nuclear disarmament – to get rid of the Trident nuclear weapons system and stop its replacement. But we recognise that Britain’s nuclear weapons are only a small part of the problem, so we also campaign for a global nuclear weapons ban. The stall is to see if anyone wants to restart the Croydon branch!
