Establishing The Strettons Doughnut Action Group (Past)
Initial meeting of a new group aiming to Downscale the Doughnut in Church Stretton, Shropshire.
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
We are a small town in a rural county, but we have a healthy and vibrant community with many groups active across areas related to a Doughnut analysis. There is ample local creativity, experience and knowledge that can be harnessed to help bring this together into a holistic framework. The group is envisaged as action-focused and data-driven, and will aim to build alliances and public support to create a thriving future for our town and its current and future residents.
The meeting on 30 March will be an in-person meeting in Church Stretton . Just contact me if you are nearby and would like to attend.
