Glasgow Climate Action Hub wants to achieve with the Demonstrator Grants programme. They want:- more people to understand the causes of climate change and its effects on communities now and in the future.- people to feel empowered to be able to act on climate change by understanding the actions they can take in their own life and within their own communities.- people to feel empowered to have their voices heard by local and national decision makers.​- to understand the barriers to climate action; what prevents communities from engaging in climate action and, just as importantly, what puts them off?All projects should consider these outcomes, but they don’t expect any one project to cover it all.This fund is particularly interesting in hearing from groups working with:- Communities in the North East of Glasgow- LGBTQ+ communities- People with disabilities- Black and minority ethnic communitiesProjects and activities must be delivered in time to submit a final report by the 31st of March 2025. Projects should be as sustainable as possible in their delivery e.g. no use of single use items.
