Growing the Alternatives

Join us for a family-friendly day of community building, skill-sharing, and learning - creating the alternatives we need for people and the planet.

The systems we live in aren’t built to care for us or the natural world. All we have is each other, so this is your chance to connect with others, discover local initiatives, and gain practical skills to help our communities not just survive, but thrive together.

Growing the Alternatives will include:

• Interactive sessions on renewables, retrofit, low carbon cooking and tackling climate disinformation
• Workshops on land justice, housing, decolonising economics and more
• Child friendly activities, art and crafts
• Fix your bike at the cycle repair station, sing with a community choir

Plus more TBA!

This event is supported by The National Lottery Community Fund and the Mayor of London, as part of the Mayor’s Community Weekend 2025.
