To coincide with the UN Climate Change Conference being held in Copenhagen, Manchester Town Hall is hosting FUTURE FEST, a CO2mmunity festival for low carbon living, and Foundation is excited to be part of the action!

Running from Sunday 13th until Thursday 17th December, FUTURE FEST promises a programme of fun and educational events around the issues of climate change.

Kicking off the festival is the Family Fun Day (Sunday 13th from 11am – 4pm in the Great Hall) where highlights include screenings of ‘March of the Penguins’ and ‘WALL-E’ at the world’s first solar powered cinema, green craft workshops, and the chance to listen to some ecostories being told by Jelly from TV’s CBeebies Green Balloon Club.

Come along and visit our Foundation stall and if you give us your thoughts on climate change you could be in with a chance of winning £25 of Manchester Green Pound vouchers!

Foundation is also supporting a lunchtime lecture from famed ex-BBC weatherman, Bill Giles, who will be providing a humorous outlook on what weather we can expect in the next 50-100 years, how global warming affects us, and the potential effect of greenhouse gases. The lecture is from 1pm-2pm on Tuesday 15th December and free tickets are available from www.billgiles.eventbrite.com or by calling 0161 953 2733.
