Helston Climate Action Group was formed in March 2019 following our local council declaring a climate emergency. Over a period of 6 months we wrote a climate action plan for our town, drawing on ideas and suggestions from our community for how we could get to carbon neutrality by 2030, in a way that left no one behind.

The Helston Climate Action Plan was published in September 2019. We have been working since then to put this into practice, focusing on reducing emissions, restoring nature and building community resilience. Transition has always been at the heart of everything we do.

Our current projects include: Helston Community Larder; Incredible Edible Helston; Forest for Helston; Nature Restoration; Helston Repair Cafe; Helston Climate Cafe

We welcome new members joining us!

We are an active member of Cornwall Climate Action Network
