Dear Sheffield Sustainability Network, Following our packed-out launch event at Electric Works on the 27th February we thought we’d get in touch to update you on what’s happening. If you didn’t make it to the launch don’t worry, there will be many more opportunities to get involved in the coming months. |

We had an incredible turnout of over 200 people - heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended. It was a lively, productive and exciting morning. After an inspiring start from Efua and a fascinating and lively talk from Simon Biltcliffe of Webmart, attendees spent an hour or so engaging with the various breakout groups. Many of you also signed up to join working groups in these areas. Due to the extraordinary amount of input we gathered on the morning we have been really busy collating all the information. There will be a more in-depth report of the launch event on the website soon. |
|
|
There were six main breakout groups at the launch: Consortium Buying, Sustainability Audit, Training & Events, Funding, Database of Resources, & Outreach & Diversity. |
|
|
There was also a 'Have your Say Cafe' which welcomed any and all feedback and ideas, as well as a board saying simply 'Sign up to help run SSN'. We got extensive input and some brilliant responses - a huge thank you to everyone who took part. |
|
|
There is now a lot of work going on behind the scenes to synthesise all these data and take everyone's ideas forward. We will be meeting with everyone who signed up to help us run SSN and any of the working groups. If you have put your name down for anything at the launch then you should hear from us in the next couple of weeks. We will also be organising training events in the coming months and will let you know more details soon. |
