What has worked well up to now in achieving your organisation’s climate change and other related goals, and what has not worked so well? 2. What would your organisation like to achieve in the next 3 to 5 years, and what could be reasonably done in the next 12 months or so? | 1. Who could we collaborate with others to help achieve our goals, and what would that collaboration look like and involve? 2. As an outcome of this first Forum event, there is a plan to create a Lancashire network community of organisations like your own to help facilitate and develop such collaboration. How could this proposed network best serve your organisation’s own goals and future work? |
Please have a think about these questions and your answers to them beforehand. This will help us get each session off to a flying start!
You may like to also bring along any materials you already have that help you explain what your community organisation does.
**NAME BADGES** With sustainability in mind, if you already have a name badge to represent your organisation at events, please bring that along to wear on the day. If you do not have one, then you will be invited to make your own name badge with sustainable materials we will provide when you arrive!
