From the Pitch to the Community: Creating Climate Action Together
Advertisement
Sport knows how to build a team. What if we brought that same energy to climate action?
Climate change is already affecting the places, facilities and communities that make sport possible—from waterlogged pitches and cancelled fixtures to rising costs, extreme heat and increasing pressure on community buildings.
But sport also has an extraordinary ability to bring people together.
Join Climate Fresk UK and Community Climate Action for a free, highly interactive workshop at The Nest, home of Norwich City Community Sports Foundation.
We’ll begin with Climate Fresk, working in small groups to understand the causes and consequences of climate change and how they connect.
We’ll then bring that understanding back to Norwich, exploring practical possibilities across:
⚽ Sports facilities, pitches and community buildings
🚲 Travel to training, matches and activities
⚡ Energy and running costs
🥗 Food and refreshments
🌿 Nature and biodiversity
♻️ Equipment, waste, repair and reuse
This is not a conference or a day of lectures. It is a participative workshop where everyone’s knowledge and experience can contribute.
We’re particularly keen to welcome people involved in sport—including players, coaches, volunteers, parents, trustees, groundskeepers, teachers, clubs, leisure organisations and community sports programmes.
However, you do not need to work in sport or have any previous climate knowledge. People from community groups, charities, schools, businesses, environmental organisations, faith communities and the wider Norwich area are equally welcome.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the challenge, practical ideas, useful local connections and potential next steps for your club, organisation or community.

⏰ 11.30am–4.30pm
📍 The Nest, Holt Road, Horsford, Norwich NR10 3AQ
