vegan baking social meet-up

On Monday 28th March 2011, help raise funds for Friends of the Earth and have a great night out for £15 to boot!

Manchester Friends of the Earth are organising a fundraising event to launch a new campaign, Manchester Meat Free Mondays, to encourage Mancunians to eat more sustainably. Eating less meat will help make Manchester healthier and reduce our impact on the environment.

There will also be music from Rae Morris, comedy, a raffle, and of course a delicious meal, all for £15! There will be a choice of vegan and vegetarian options available… why not check out the menu? You'll need to book in advance if you want to come at http://dineoutvegout.org.uk

The money raised will go to Friends of the Earth, who urgently need more money to continue vital climate change campaigns.

This event will be focused on Manchester City Council's Climate Action Plan, its aspiration for sustainable food and how the third sector can help ‘double the amount of locally grown food we eat’ over the next ten years.

FREE sustainability programme for third sector organisations in Greater Manchester

MERCi is one of the leading sustainable development charities in the North West of England. We run and manage programmes to enable individuals, groups and organisations to live and work in a more sustainable way; environmentally, socially and economically.

The SUSTAINING CHANGE programme is a Big Lottery Funded programme which aims to work with the third sector (charities, voluntary and community organisations, social enterprises, cooperatives) to operate in a more sustainable way. We do this through offering FREE sustainability audits, FREE training, a FREE members network, FREE events and FREE peer mentoring.

We currently have 82 programme members throughout Greater Manchester. However, the representation from the green/ environmental sector is lacking. The programme doesn't just focus on environmental practices- an area in which these groups already excel. It also looks at the social aspects of sustainability; how do you include staff and service users in decision making; how do you ensure your service users are getting the service they want; how do you promote and market your successes, if at all; how do you create mutually benefical partnerships.....
