We are essentially a networking group with a sustainability brief and meet quarterly. We also create events and topic based initiatives to help our organisations learn how to cut emissions. Current projects include setting up cultural sector specific Carbon Literacy Training and exploring how we might collectively procure our energy from renewable sources. We operate on an annual subscription based on the size of organisation and creates a fund from which we procure the reporting and fund events/initiatives but this subscription doesn’t stop anyone from joining the conversation nor indeed a Salford postcode. The group is facilitated by a host organisation which is currently the Royal Exchange Theatre and chaired by Simon Curtis who also sits on the Steering Group for Manchester Climate Change Agency.
