Re-Imagining Your Neighbourhood: A Community Workshop

A relaxed interactive workshop to explore how we can green our streets, reduce flooding, and make local spaces more welcoming.

We’ll look at opportunities across several local locations, from parks and streets to local faith spaces, and work together to shape nature-based solutions such as rain gardens, planters and green pockets.

The session will include:

• interactive mapping and design
• idea sharing
• Selecting and working through priority sites
• opportunity to become a Future-Proof Neighbourhood Champion.

Everyone welcome - even if you are just curious.

About Project SPONGE

With changes in our climate and environment, the risk of flooding has increased.

Project SPONGE uses natural techniques to absorb and control water, reintroducing nature into our surroundings to help make our community more resilient to future floods.

We've brought together communities, conservation charities, and flood specialists to address specific concerns and work as a team to tackle these issues.
