Bee Friendly Leamington was launched in March 2023 with the intention of raising awareness of the importance of bees and other pollinators, to expand and enhance their foraging and nesting habitat and to achieve ‘Bee Friendly Town’ status in 2024. They have already conducted several bee conservation education sessions in primary schools and Rangers’ groups in the area. Contact: Jo Harper beefriendlyleamington@gmail.com

C.L.E.A.N. (Cubbington and Lillington Environment Action Now) was launched in June 2023 and are aiming at making it easier for people to combine very busy lives with doing their bit to be more sustainable. They hope to find enjoyable ways to do things, to work in small groups, or street by street. They are trying to set up local recycling hubs, to support people in reducing their household bills by improving their insulation (using a thermal imaging camera), as well as family friendly activities such as walking buses to schools and children’s book and clothes sharing.” Contact: Matt Black matt.black@pop3.poptel.org.uk
