We are alive at an extraordinary moment in our shared history, and one which asks us to come together and respond in extraordinary ways.

It will be held in Clitheroe at Trinity Community Hub on Saturday 1st July. The day will provide stimulating speakers, workshops, opportunities for networking and community cohesion , for developing creative ideas, and addressing climate anxiety; all with future generations at the heart of our thinking .
