What is a Climate Emergency Centre? A centre which offers solutions for people, pocket and planet, local and inclusive, focused on meeting community needs, the displays and volunteers will share solutions to the climate & ecological crises & provide a signposting service. The project self-funds by using a business model that enables owners of currently vacant business premises to reduce their Business Rates payments by up to 100% through ‘meanwhile leasing’ the property for community benefit to a not for profit / charitable organisation (the CEC). This means the project can acquire a vacant property, generate income through activities which help people live within the planetary limits, including: Refills; recycling point; repair café; bicycle repairs; baby clothes, toys, tools, green books, seed swaps; community fridge; advice on energy, transport, gardening, carbon footprint reduction; room(s) for educational events and meetings.
