Council initiated the Sustainable Neighbourhoods program way back in 2008, with a number of Sustainable Neighbourhood groups becoming established across the city over the following few years.
As our network became more established, volunteers from across the City worked together to formalise the network's governance structure to enable independence and support in the long term - creating the Sustainable Neighbourhood Alliance, which was officially incorporated on 7 July 2011.
That means that July 2021 will mark a decade of a formal Sustainable Neighbourhood Alliance!
How do you want to celebrate this significant occasion? Here's some ideas to get you thinking:
- Link with Living Smart Festival, September 2021
- Link with ReLeaf and Cardiff Pollinator projects
- Tree Cities of the World: Annual celebration of trees;
- combine with National Tree Day in July and Native plant giveaway
- Landcare links / tree planting events with schools
- street tree plantings?
- Promote and publicise our decade of achievements and recruit new members - create a podcast, video series
- Series of street parties around the city
- Big community picnic
- Volunteer awards
- ... what else?
