Come to an open meeting
10.30-12.00 (10.00 for refreshments and socialising) on the first Saturday of odd months (January, March, May, July, September, November) in 2013, at St Lawrence Parish Room, Colebrook St. Winchester. Find out what's going on, join in the debates and plan future activities.
WinACC has joined forces with Friends of the Earth to offer open eco-workshops on the second Tuesday evening of even months (April, June, August, October, December) in 2013 to give practical information to help you reduce your carbon footprint. 7.30 refreshments, 7.45 - 9.15 at United Church, Jewry Street, Winchester.
Take action in a WinACC Action Group
WinACC Action Groups cover themes such as the Built Environment, Renewable Energy and Transport. Each group meets about once a month and members are active in between meetings.
Action Groups are often on the lookout for new recruits. Our Science and Technology Advisory Panel is looking for a sociologist with relevant experience of social change, and a green economist. WinACC is also keen to hear from anyone interested in forming a new Action Group.

Become a low carbon champion
WinACC supports "low carbon champions" in the community and in workplaces. Low carbon champions raise awareness about climate change and motivate people to reduce their carbon footprint at home and at work. If you want to join the network, share ideas and get mutual support, ring Susie Phillips on 01962 827083 or email winacc@winacc.org.uk
The Greening Campaign aims to motivate people to reduce their impact on the environment. It is a separate organisation, but local Greening Campaigns work closely with WinACC. There are Greening Campaigns in Alresford, Colden Common, Fulflood and Oliver’s Battery and a local neighbourhood group in Bishops Waltham, Kings Worthy and St Cross/Barracks. If you'd like to help start a new local group elsewhere in Winchester district, ring Susie Phillips on 01962 827083 or email winacc@winacc.org.uk. (For further information on Greening Campaigns see: www.greening-campaign.co.uk.)
Volunteer your time in the WinACC office
Do you have a few hours to spare during the week? If so, we’d welcome your help in the WinACC office. Duties are varied but might include research, organising and participating in meetings, administration, updating the WinACC website etc.
Organise an event
WinACC is always on the lookout for volunteers who are willing to help organise events on the challenges of human-caused climate change and the benefits of low carbon living. Whether you’re a fully-fledged event manager or just someone who likes to organise, get in touch.
Make a donation
We have lots of ideas about how to cut Winchester district's carbon footprint, but what we can do depends on how much money and time we have. If you can help us do more by making a one-off or regular donation, please visit our donations page to find out how.
To get involved in or find out more about any of the above, contact us.
