The Greening Campaign

Micheldever Parish has set it's 8 challenges!

The Public Meeting held at the Micheldever Primary School on 14th December was a great success thanks to the valuable support from the head teacher, members of staff and residents from the parish who took part in the event. After an introduction by Chloe Poulter, a video was played featuring Terena Plowright who explained how and when the Greening Campaign started in Petersfield, and how it has grown with more communities throughout the UK getting involved.

Suitably fortified with hot drinks and mince pies, the meeting formed breakout groups to discuss and vote on the 16 challenges offered to decide which would be the 8 most appropriate for Micheldever Parish. Many thanks go to Elizabeth's Kitchen who provided flasks to keep the drinks hot, and Louise Keys who donated the mince pies. (The left over pies will go to a Winchester food bank)

What happens next?

Challenge cards will be printed and distributed to every household, business, and community building in the parish. Once you have received your card it's your turn to have fun getting involved in making the small changes that your community has chosen. You may already be doing some of them! As soon as you have completed at least 5 of the eight challenges, you can place the card in your window to be counted. After six weeks the cards are counted and the total savings that Micheldever Parish has made are calculated and

The Launch Event

When the challenge cards are ready there will be a launch event at Northbook Hall on Tuesday 1st February where each of the 8 challenges will be demonstrated by community groups. Refreshments will be provided at the launch that will prove to be informative and enjoyable.
