SHC Wishlist

SHC is a relatively new organisation, and we haven’t got as many activities and subgroups off the ground as we would really like. To find out what we are already doing go to our Harborough Climate Action and Harborough Transport Action sections. The following is a list of ideas for activities and projects we would love to set up - but we just haven't had the time to get them going yet. Get in touch if you would like to help get going on one or two of these.
about-8

We would really love it if SHC Members or local groups were able to pick some (or even all!!) of these up. And of course we would love to hear from you if there are other ‘Wishes’ you would like add to the list.
