About the Group

Hamish our Chair, at the Redland May FairRob our secretary at the Redland May Fair with Stephen Williams MPAngela our treasurer

In March 2005 Hamish Wills, a local resident, hand delivered a letter to hundreds of Redland households asking if anyone else was concerned about climate change, CO2 emissions and environmental destruction. We held a meeting and the group began.

So far we have;

All our work is achieved by people giving up their own time. We cover costs of room hire and printing from small donations. A small grant from the Frances Wood Trust funded the initial costs of this website.  Jake McMurchie who designed the site has given us lots of help with managing it. We are very grateful to Maryam Saleem, year ten student at Cotham School who has designed our Farmer’s Market leaflet, and to Morgan Beddoe Estate Agents of Whiteladies Road who very kindly organised the printing and covered all the costs. We are grateful also to local businesses for practical help and support with the Farmers Market, particularly Dreweatt Neate Auction Rooms and Rossiter Smith and Co.

We have a chair, secretary and treasurer and about twenty of us who devote time to projects run by the group. Basically anyone who wants to help with reducing our fossil fuel dependancy and our impacts on the climate is in effect a member of Sustainable Redland, and you don’t have to live in Redland.
