Eco Information Fair
Welcome ! We are the Richmondshire Climate Action Partnership.
We are taking action to respond to the climate and environment emergency that is affecting us all.
We are volunteers working with and inspiring local people and communities to take action to tackle climate change.
Take a look at what we've been doing. If you like what you see and want to get involved, please support our events or get in touch at admin@richmondshireclimateaction.org.
Tuesday 10th June 6.30pm to 8.30pm
in Richmond Town Hall
The Eco fair provides an opportunity to meet local community groups working together to improve our local environment for recreation and for wildlife.
Find out how you can help and what changes you can make to your lifestyle choices to make our environment better.
Have you considered improving your home insulation and warming your house, not the world!
Here you can talk to businesses involved in insulating homes and other buildings, fitting solar panels and installing heat pumps. There will also be information on government and local council grant aid for these solutions.
Would you like to know how you can help stop Climate Change and save our environment which means save us!!
The future will be powered by carbon neutral energy so perhaps you are interested in discussing EVs, electric bikes and local bus routes.
Richmond Methodist School’s amazing Eco Team will be showing what they are doing to tell people about preserving the environment and guaranteeing a future for them.
Please drop in to the Town Hall for a chat over coffee and cake with our stall holders and you fellow Richmond residents. Together we can achieve so much.

Be inspired by our new film 'Beneath the Surface'
Our new film 'Beneath the Surface' was premiered at The Station Eco Day on Saturday 16th June 2024. At just over 11 minutes long, it aims to encourage, challenge and inspire you to do more to care for the environment. Featuring local people from across the generations, the film showcases local positive action and highlights issues of concern. 'Can we all become a ripple of action to create a tidal wave of change?'
The film was commissioned by Richmondshire Climate Action Partnership and Richmond Buildings Preservation Trust and was directed by volunteer Margaret Land. Thanks to our generous funders Energi North East Ltd and Richmond Rotary Club and all the local residents who feature in the film, without whom it wouldn't have been possible. Enjoy !
