Support for local groups

Support for local environmental groups

Mendip Environment can support environmental groups in Mendip district in a variety of ways.

  • Helping to publicise the work of your group
  • Loaning resources such as electricity consumption meters, 'green' games, flip chart and stands, display boards and tables
  • Advising on funding sources
  • Working in partnership on local sustainability projects
  • Over the coming months, we plan to develop ways of providing additional support:

    Running networking events which will help to give a collective voice to voluntary organisations to influence local government policy
    Offering groups their own web pages on this site, to post information and update it, or a page to summarise the group's activities with a link to the group's own website.
    Providing web discussion fora and events calendars for local groups
    Offering training and support to those members wanting to become energy assessors, so they can carry out household energy audits

    We welcome suggestions from all Mendip environmental groups as to how we can best support you.
