Welcome to ChalCAN website

ChalCAN is a community group set up in 2019. We aim to engage with local people in Chalford to increase awareness of how we can make changes in our everyday lives to reduce our carbon use, protect and restore biodiversity, and live more sustainably. We provide practical advice and support to help our community to make changes to how we travel, shop, eat, power our homes and enhance our natural environment. While making changes locally is valuable, we also aim to raise awareness of the urgency of the climate and environmental crisis and the need for policy change in government and corporate institutions.
