• The Shape of Things: Climate Cafe supported by Sustainable Penzance

    Come and share a cuppa and some cake with like-minded individuals at our Climate Cafe. You can find out about work that's happening in the town to create a better future for all, as well as chat about the current issues we're facing as a community. This is an open space to bring yourself as you are. What are your concerns, worries and observations? How does it all make you feel? And where are the positive actions and outlets that we can all access to support each other, and the beautiful planet we call home.
