Letham Climate Challenge
LCC have a 16+ year track-record of being a responsive, respected and deeply appreciated community organisation. We are based in an area of high deprivation doubled with the cost-of-living crisis. By intertwining our aims of climate intervention with anti-poverty measures, we are successfully tackling the stigma attached to second-hand items. We are empowering individuals to upcycle second-hand furniture and borrow tools to be more resilient, we encourage growing-your-own vegetables to be self-sustaining and we involve our community in the improvement of our local area through community litter-picks and community gardening. We diverted almost 60 tonnes from landfill last year.
