AMBLESIDE ACTION FOR A FUTURE is a network of local residents working together to mitigate climate and environmental breakdown and build community resilience.
We have a number of volunteer groups working on a range of exciting environment projects such as improving water quality, tree planting, promoting green transport, helping householders and businesses to save energy, and more.
If you share our concerns we invite you to explore our web site and consider joining us and one or more of our projects.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
As Ambleside Action for a Future we will do as much as we can locally and nationally to slow global warming and mitigate the effects of climate breakdown. We will seek to co-create a kind, inclusive, cohesive and resilient community embracing as many people in the Ambleside area as possible to provide mutual emotional and practical support in the face of the worsening effects of climate breakdown.

Visit to Claver Hill Community Garden, Lancaster
On Wednesday 24 July a group of AAFAF members travelled to Lancaster to see the Claver Hill Community Garden. We were shown round by Steve Jenkins who had earlier given us the wonderful talk on Claver Hill at our June meeting. The visit was inspiring. You can get a sense of what a wonderful place it is and how enjoyable our time there was from the photos of the visit.
