What is the training about?
The programme will support up to 20 local people to build practical skills and confidence in understanding community resilience, preparing for climate-related risks and emergencies, and supporting neighbours and local networks during extreme weather events.
From this group, 15 participants will also be invited to take part in further Community Climate Action training, focused on turning ideas into action and developing local projects.
Who is it for?
You might be a great fit if you are aged 18 or over, live, work or study in Notting Dale or North Kensington, and are interested in helping your community prepare for climate impacts and emergencies.
What does taking part involve?
There are a total of six, two hour sessions, weekly on Friday afternoons.
The Community Resilience Training will run between March and April 2026, with a mix of in-person workshops in the local area and online sessions on topics such as flooding and heatwaves. Sessions are typically around two hours each and are designed to be practical, interactive, and relevant to local needs.
The Community Climate Action training will follow in May–June 2026 for selected participants and will focus on understanding climate change and local impacts, community engagement, and developing and planning climate action projects.
Why take part?
Participants will gain practical skills using well-established training materials, build connections with other local people and organisations, be supported to turn learning into real, tangible action, and help strengthen resilience and climate action across the neighbourhood.
