Climate Action
Winterbourne and Frome Valley Environmental Group was set up in 2019 to address the Climate and Ecological Emergency. We are part of the Friends of the Earth network of Local Action groups, and we are well connected with other South Gloucestershire climate action groups such as Sustainable Thornbury (Climate Action Thornbury and Surrounding areas) and Climate Action Yate and Chipping Sodbury. Find out about our current campaigns and projects!
Transition Town
Transition is a movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild our world. Climate Action Winterbourne has been funded by the Transition Together programme.
Repair Cafe
Winterbourne Repair Cafe aims to reduce waste and consumerism through our community of makers and repair specialists. Join us at our meet-up on the third Saturday of each month.
Safer, cleaner streets
The WEG Committee have been campaigning on road safety issues locally, to help make our streets safer to walk and cycle around. Local schools have also encouraged parents and nearby drivers to stop idling engines to reduce air pollution.
Party Kits
To help reduce plastic waste, we can loan out a children’s party kit. Disposable plastic is made from oil, contributing to climate change and we are keen to reduce single-use plastic waste locally.

Litter picking
We have an active group of litter pickers making our local environment cleaner. Litter is a danger to animals and children, as well as being unsightly. Disposable plastic can take over 450 years to break down, and even then, microplastics are harmful to human health.
