About Horsforth Climate Action
Welcome to Horsforth Climate Action – promoting community-wide action to tackle climate change and make a transition to a zero-carbon, nature-friendly and socially-just community for Horsforth & Leeds.
We are a group of local volunteers from the Horsforth community with a shared vision to make Horsforth, Leeds, Yorkshire, the UK, and the world a greener, more sustainable, and equitable place. We’re thrilled to be one of the eight Community Hubs scattered across Leeds, powered by Climate Action Leeds and generously funded by the Community Lottery Fund.
We have big visions, but realise that making change starts at our doorstep.
We’d love you to join us! Sign up for our newsletter to find out about our upcoming events. Even better, come and help with one (or more) of our projects, or suggest one of your own. Whether you are an individual or represent a local community group or business, find out more about our events, projects, resources and how to get involved and take action.
