Petersfield Climate Action Network is an environmental charity aiming to help local communities reduce their carbon emissions, protect nature, improve resilience and adapt to the changing climate
Don't miss our free film screening
What’s happening with our climate and the natural world, and what does it mean for everyday life in the UK?
Join us for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing - an eye-opening film, bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for extreme weather, food security, health, and the cost of living.
After the film there will be a short open discussion with a panel about what it means for our community and what we can do locally. We will be joined by our local MP, Damian Hinds, and look forward to the opportunity for constituents to have this important discussion about our future.

Repair Café has arrived in Petersfield!
Big news - PeCAN have brought Repair Café to Petersfield! On the last Saturday of each month you will be able to bring your broken items from home to the Repair Café at the Avenue Pavilion, and receive help with mending them.
Repair Cafés are free meeting places focussed on repairing things, together. At a Repair Café, you'll find tools, materials, and skilled volunteers to help you make repairs - to clothes, electrical appliances, crockery, toys and more.
28 million tonnes of waste is generated by UK households each year, but the Hampshire Repair Café Network of 28 cafés has so far measured more than 40 tonnes of waste and 300 tonnes of CO2 emissions prevented. Imagine what more we can do...
Find out more about the initiative and what to expect here and please come along between 1.30-3.30pm. You can also enjoy a cuppa and piece of cake offered by Petersfield Women's Institute.
PeCAN at the Pub
Due to popular demand, we are bringing back our monthly evening gatherings!
Please join us for PeCAN at the Pub on the last Wednesday of the month in The Folly Bar (find us in the area to the right of the bar, ahead of you as you walk in).
We hope that offering a monthly evening gathering will enable those who have been unable to attend our Tuesday morning Eco Cafe to join us. We welcome anyone and everyone who is interested in our environment and concerned about the climate crisis. We are a positive, solutions-based bunch, and we look forward to meeting you.
The gathering relocates to the Folly Upstairs on a bimonthly basis, to become a Volunteers Evening. These are in January, March, May, September, and November (with a Summer Party July/Aug and a Christmas Party in December). Everyone is welcome! Order a drink at the Folly Bar if you'd like one, and then join us upstairs for a short presentation followed by breakout groups and brainstorming.

Heat Pumps - Myths or Magic?
It was a truly informative and inspirational evening at the United Reformed Church on Wednesday April 15th when we hosted a talk on heat pumps by industry expert Bean Beanland
For peat's sake!
Did you know that peat based compost is still for sale at some outlets?
We need to talk about nature
We are on the brink of ecosystem collapse and headed for a deeply uncertain and likely dangerous future, but it seems very few people, or countries, are even talking about it
Is a heat pump the right choice for you?
With the conflict in Iran forcing oil prices to rise dramatically, there has never been a better time to consider more secure, and greener, alternatives for heating our homes
Could YOU help us deliver for schools?
We are looking for a volunteer trustee to support and drive forward our education outreach work with children in local schools.
Our aim is to provide students of all ages with knowledge, understanding, and skills to help them navigate the future with resilience, confidence and wisdom. We want to empower them to make planet-friendly choices themselves, and enable them to amplify their voices in explaining those choices to others. Over the past two years we have delivered more than 100 transformative (and free) assemblies and workshops, reaching over 5,000 children, but with your help we could do much more.
Find out more about what's involved here.
