All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.

Halesworth Area Sustainability Hub – Halesworth ASH – aims to connect people, ideas and projects to inspire a thriving, nature-friendly and climate-resilient community.

Our local engagement takes these forms:

a. Conferences/Weekends:  in 2023, our first conference dealt with a wide and general variety of issues, and had an accompanying exhibition of local initiatives and organisations. Our 2024 conference specialised in Land and Food. In 2025 we had an Energy Weekend. 

b. Events: these are organised and promoted throughout the year – either originated by ourselves or in conjunction with other organisations. Green Films, held at the Cut Arts Centre in Halesworth, offer a series of ‘green films’ to inspire, challenge and inform. We participate in the INK fun-day for example around food waste. 

c. Newsletters: we keep the Friends of Halesworth ASH in touch through monthly e-newsletters of which alerts our events or local initiatives. Welcome to join us, just fill out our Contact Form.

Following on from our Energy Weekend, this page offers useful practical resources: how to change your energy system, government policies, grants,  funding and how to access it, steps you can take and how we – Halesworth ASH or other organisations – can support you.

Schools

Are you interested in free workshops and assemblies on sustainability and the environment?  

Halesworth ASH offers education projects to help pupils understand environmental issues and get involved in positive action in their school and community.  

We’re currently planning our education programme for 2026 and beyond, and would like to know what type of input you would like. We can also offer support with your Climate Action Plan as our Education Officer has training and experience in writing them.
