Owing to the success of their ground-breaking ebike hire scheme the team at SENS have published a manual to help other communities set up their own schemes.

Last Sunday, they even appeared on Countryfile's cycling special (scroll to 51 mins)! 

Running until Saturday is Cockermouth Charity Week, and we're delighted to be supported by lots of different businesses who will be accepting donations on our behalf. On Friday, Oakhurst Garden Centre are hosting a fundraising vintage afternoon tea, with CAfS being one of the beneficiaries. If you can print and display the poster that would be awesome! We'll also be there on Saturday, so come and say hello!

Our next Climate and Carbon Literacy Course is scheduled for 19th & 26th September. Join our online course to get the very latest climate science, calculate your carbon footprint and find out what action you can take at home, in your community and at work.

This Saturday at 12 noon, the third Speakers Corner event will take place in Whitehaven to oppose the West Cumbria Coal Mine. 

We know that here in Cumbria there is stacks of Potential for Green Jobs that could be created across a wide range of industries, and the event on Saturday will focus on just that! 

We're on the hunt for volunteers in Ambleside; Keswick; Levens and Arnside and Greysouthen, Eaglesfield, Bridgefoot and Little Clifton and Lorton areas to learn how to use a thermal imaging camera and conduct thermal imaging surveys in your area.

If you have a interest in climate change and are in the Copeland area, you could join our team of Climate Champions! Our Climate Champs get to come on our Climate and Carbon Literacy course for free, then use their new-found knowledge to share it in their community through events and activities, all fully supported by us here at CAfS. We're particularly looking for parish councillors!

If you’re looking for a new opportunity to work at CAfS – watch this space for several new roles coming soon to our Cold to Cosy Homes Cumbria team, including Customer Administrators, Project Officers and a Project Manager.
