Lambeth Council is hosting a ‘Climate Day’ event at the Town Hall in Brixton in partnership with Repair Café Lambeth CIC.
The Assembly Hall will host a Repair Café (opens in a new window), where residents can bring their wares to be repaired by their fixers on site from 10 am to 1pm. There will be local climate businesses and organisations showcasing available to chat to, and find out more about what they do.
From 10.30 am to 12 pm we will have a main stage where sustainable start-ups will have the chance to pitch for a £ 2500 prize fund in a ‘Dragon’s Den-style’ competition sponsored by Integrate Agency CIC.
Throughout the morning, Integrate (opens in a new window) will be hosting workshops and talks, such as a theatre-based climate change anxiety workshop for all ages run by Wise Ram Theatre CIC.
