CORNWALL CLIMATE CARE

Can you help?

The current funding environment is challenging, to say the least, with grant application success rates as low as 2%. We know from experience that many people are keen to support the work that we do and in the last few years we were bequeathed a generous legacy and raised funding through calls for support. Both of which enabled us to create and share the film series and undertake a crafted schools’ programme. 

As that supported work draws to a close, we want to extend our audience and community base to include people who may never have given climate action a second thought. We recognise our wonderful, core community is predominantly white, female and over 50 and consultation has shown a wider need for engaging and working with other audiences and partners too. These include:

• younger audiences and participants - providing environmental career, mentoring, networking and work skills opportunities
• community groups and individuals from BAME and social and economically disadvantaged backgrounds - supporting knowledge journeys, building confidence and signposting positive action
• schools and educational settings - supporting teachers and education providers with the tools and knowledge they need to teach about climate change
• audiences outside of Cornwall - identifying and partnering communities where there are synergies with some of the great work taking place in Cornwall
• research institutions - exploring potential research and impact projects
• other partnerships - finding ways to maximise benefit together, exploring routes to better impact and achieving more together

Practical, positive and inspiring

If you feel strongly, as we do, that everyone has a right to better understand the climate challenges facing our world and that Cornwall Climate Care can really support people on their journey, provide positive outcomes and ignite hopes of a brighter future, then please do consider donating to our expanding programme. 

Through previous donations and match funding, we have raised an amazing £40,000+ which enabled us to complete our film series - can you help us raise funds to share those films with many more people?

Your support is very much needed and appreciated. Thank you!

And remember, our films are free to watch online www.cornwallclimate.org.

After watching our films, Sir David Attenborough wrote to tell us: "The need you have identified is indeed a real one, and your films meet it very well. Many congratulations".
