Climate and nature crisis film screening for young people

A film screening exploring the climate and nature crisis is being organised by a 15-year-old volunteer for local young people.

People’s Emergency Briefing is a documentary presented by Chris Packham CBE, which has been screened in communities across the country to raise awareness of the risks of climate change.

The film will be shown at the Wellbeing Hub on Saturday 14th November, with free admission for young people and their parents.

The screening has been organised by Dexter Painter-Coates, who has been recognised for his work supporting the environment and wildlife.

He said, “Most screenings of the briefing have been kept to 16 plus but I believe that it is just as important for young people to see it and to understand the damage being done to our planet so that we can help to make changes for the future.

“I wanted to hold my own screening especially for young people. We will be watching the screening in full but building in time for breaks and chatting about the issues that come up as well as spending some time afterwards looking at things we can do locally together to make a difference.”

The event will run from 1pm to 4pm, with doors opening at 12.30pm. Tickets must be booked in advance through Eventbrite at https://shorturl.at/k29qX.
