Watershed receives one year of funding to develop and share our work on decarbonising our building.
Watershed is delighted to announce that we have received one year of funding from the Bristol City Leap Community Energy Fund to develop and share our work on decarbonisation, retrofit and renewable energy opportunities.
Through Watershed Wild and Generous, we are working towards reducing the carbon impact of our building. Wild and Generous is a bold and ambitious plan to revamp our building, secure our business model and grow our impact for decades to come. Watershed is taking a regenerative approach to the work, striving to be non-extractive, and creating a space where humans and nature can survive, thrive and co-evolve.
This funding will enable us to share our decarbonisation plans openly and in real-time. We will be hosting regular community events to share learning, challenges and new skills. These events will include climate-themed family film screenings, creative workshops, building tours, drop-in support for energy in your own home, Earth Day celebrations and networking events.
We kick off our programme on Wed 19 Aug with a workshop for young people to create a climate resilient neighbourhood, and for them to reflect on the future of our homes and city. There will also be a family friendly workshop for kids to reuse old socks to make sock puppets, and the Bristol Energy Network will be running a help desk for 1-2-1 advice about energy costs and related issues in your homes. You can also come along to Aardman’s film Early Man which is screening for Aardman’s 50th anniversary.
