The Suffolk Climate Change Partnership is launching ‘Creating the Greenest Communities’ – a support network for new or established ‘green’ communities.
Hosted by a different community every month, the Network will visit leading projects across the county giving groups the opportunity to talk about their experiences and share what they have learned. Advisors will be on hand to discuss issues such as funding or communications, and future events will host themed training and workshops on a range of 'green' topics.
The Network is being launched at Great Barton Village Hall on Saturday 6th February. This first event will run as a day of open workshops, providing a forum for existing and new groups to meet together to provide inspiration and learning from their own communities.

Healthy Ambitions Award Ceremony Postponed
Posted: Wednesday, 18 November 2009
An Awards Ceremony and Celebration of the first year of Healthy Ambitions Suffolk was planned for Tuesday 1 December 2009. Postal invitations went out prior to the sudden tragic death of the Healthy Ambitions Suffolk Chair, James Hehir.
Having discussed matters with James’ close colleagues at Ipswich Borough Council, who are also in contact with his family, it is felt that the morning should be a tribute to James, to his leadership and to his enthusiasm. James did a tremendous amount in steering Healthy Ambitions through it's first year and the partnership believes that it should use the occasion to celebrate his achievements. However, it is felt that 1 December is too close to the tragic event and to the other arrangements to do that sensitively.
It has therefore been decided to postpone the event until early next year with a date to be agreed.
The Board Meeting will still go ahead on 25 November.
