This workshop will give you lots of ideas for saving money and feeling better by reducing the amount of stuff in your life.
T his workshop is part of our Adult Learners Week 2024 activity and delivered for us by Green Squirrel – a social enterprise based at Railway Gardens in Splott.
All Participants will also receive 2 months free membership to the ‘Climate Village’ where you can explore these topics and others that may interest you further.
Good to know:
Green Squirrel workshops are friendly, informal and welcoming. You do not need any prior knowledge of climate or nature to take part.
Although we encourage everyone to join with their camera on and take part in group discussions, we understand that some people will prefer to attend with their camera off. We do not use breakout rooms.
