WF Community Climate Action Network Events
Climate Cafe
Are you concerned about the climate emergency?
You're not alone.
We're all beginning to feel the impact of the climate and ecological emergency here in Waltham Forest where we have experienced fire and floods. Add to that the rising cost of fuel and groceries, many of us are having to tighten our belts or risk falling into debt.
We need to talk about this. As friends and neighbours, we can support each other through these times. Nobody should have to face this crisis alone. Let's show each other empathy and concern because together, as a community, we can meet any challenge.
Please join us for this FREE EVENT (donations welcome). All are welcome, especially those with no prior experience or involvement with this type of event.
Rob Stuart is a Walthamstow based psychodynamic counsellor with a particular interest in the climate emergency. He is a registered member of the British Psychoanalytic Council, the British Associate of Counselling and Psychotherapy, the Birkbeck Counselling Association and the Climate Psychology Alliance.

National Emergency Briefing
In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing on Climate & Nature brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and other influential people in Westminster. That evidence is now on the public record.
The presentations have been distilled into a 50 minute film, released today and designed to show in communities. Here's a trailer:

It is non partisan and I would be delighted if you would attend, as a member of your community.
