Group Leader : Philip Sims

Mission Statement
We are a group focused on addressing the environmental crises facing our planet.
Through learning and action, we aim to improve prospects for all living things, including people.
Our goal is to educate, inform, and inspire members of Ashford, Wye & District U3A and nearby groups.


We will:-
Provide contacts to help people take action against environmental threats.
Connect with local U3As and like-minded organisations.
Monitor and support our Borough Council’s efforts to become carbon neutral.
Inform U3A members about climate change impacts and practical ways to reduce their carbon footprint.
Counter misinformation about climate change.
Share positive stories of progress.
Promote sustainable living in our U3A community and beyond.
Organise visits to sites like recycling centres and water treatment plants.
Host coffee mornings on sustainability topics.
Improve our skills in having constructive, non-confrontational conversations.

In the coming year, we aim to:-
Make measurable progress on these goals.
Grow our A4T group beyond the current 13 members.
Plan a study day for local U3A members with expert speakers to draw a large audience.
We are always happy to welcome potential new members.
We meet on the Third Thursday of each month, from 10:00 to 12:00. Contact :- Philip Sims at philip.sims01@gmail.
