Placard Making Workshop, Saturday 9th November 2024
We held a placard making session to connect as a community and make placards for the upcoming COP29 demo.
It was great to see everyone and to witness the creativity and heartfelt messages 🔥❤️🔥
Thanks also to those who donated to Turning Tides (these help us cover the costs of these events) and for everyone helping us to pack down/ clean up. 🙏
Portsmouth Vegan Festival,
21st September 2024
Our stall at Portsmouth Vegan Festival 🌱
We did a survey of what people would like to see from a local Climate Emergency Centre.
Interesting and refreshing conversations with people of different ages and varying levels of awareness around climate change.
Did you know that switching to a plant based option could cut that dish's:
Climate impact 🌏 by 50%
Land use 🌾 by 74%
Water use 💧 by 50%
Impact on wildlife 🦉 by 50%
and of course, animal exploitation by 100%!

Building Update!
We have been offered a temporary building to use on a monthly basis!
This will be our home until we find something more permanent (likely next year). The space we have been offered is an empty unit in a central Portsmouth shopping centre 👀
We’ll be sharing with Social Enterprise Link who have been incredible at supporting us through our journey
We are collecting your views on how the centre will operate and the things you’d like to see.
