East Devon Carbon Action Roadshow & New Grant Fund Launch

Running from 10am to 1pm at Heron Farm in Weston, featuring workshops, speakers and networking opportunities.

New Grant Funding: Carbon Action Fund

We’ll be launching the details of the NEW Carbon Action Fund, which will provide grant funding for local businesses, community organisations and charities to purchase carbon reduction equipment.

Guest Speaker, Benjamin Mee

We are also delighted to welcome our special guest, Benjamin Mee, who is an inspiring speaker and author of “We Bought a Zoo,” recounting his incredible story of purchasing and turning around Dartmoor Zoo, which was turned into a Hollywood film starring Matt Damon. Benjamin has unwavering passion for transforming lives through knowledge, collaboration and partnership to encourage sustainability and conservation.

Carbon Reduction Equipment Suppliers & Networking

There will be a range of businesses showcasing carbon reduction equipment who will be on hand to talk about their renewable solutions such as solar, EV charging and heat pumps.

You can discuss your plans, explore new technology and learn about the range of products and services that are available to you when considering options for investment and implementation of your net zero plans.

Carbon Foot Printing Made Easy Workshop

This practical workshop will provide a no-nonsense and practical guide to businesses to enable them to avoid ‘green washing’ and build their own understanding of steps they can take to take them on their journey towards Net Zero.

You’ll be given guidance on how to reduce your carbon footprint as well as how to access grants through Carbon Action Fund to help you put your plans into action.

The Venue

This roadshow has been kindly hosted at Heron Farm, an award-winning cafe, vineyards, orchards, kitchen garden, located just outside Honiton with EV charging points.
