Action Programme 6
Communication and Awareness (C&A)
The communication programme has a dual approach, to raise awareness of climate change locally and to promote the work on the Manhood Peninsula. It aims to communicate the vision for the area, with a view to gaining 'first mover' status in terms of adapting to climate change and living with inundation. It plans to channel the project outputs to influence local decision-makers and to continue to increase the understanding of the local population of the opportunities for adapting to climate change locally and individually.
Community Grant Fund
A fund to help groups on the Manhood Peninsula take small actions in response to our changing climate.
This fund is open to any group or organisation on the Manhood Peninsula that:
- has a community based membership e.g. Rotary, Photographic Clubs, Mums & Toddlers, Residents Association, Scouts etc.
- supports or provides services to the local community e.g. Parish Councils, Primary Care Trust, Schools
It will fund such groups to take practical action to adapt to, or raise awareness of the need to adapt to climate change.
