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.
Halesworth ASH was set up to support the local community to move towards net zero. It grew out of collaboration between Halesworth Town Council and Blyth Valley Churches, giving the group links into both civic networks and 14 church communities. The group has a broad climate and sustainability remit, including food, waste, biodiversity, education, community engagement and energy.
Our local engagement takes these forms:
a. Conferences/Weekends: in 2023, our first conference dealt with a wide and general variety of issues. Our 2024 conference specialised in Land and Food. In 2025 we specialised in 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.
