Crediton Community Forum: Living Well in a Hotter Future

Join us for an interactive community forum to discuss how we can prepare for hotter summers and strengthen heat resilience across Devon. Across Devon and the UK, many of us are already noticing the effects of increasingly hot summers. From uncomfortable homes and disrupted daily routines to concerns about health, wellbeing, and local infrastructure. Crediton Community Forum: Living Well in a Hotter Future is an in-person event for the local community to share experiences and explore how to prepare for hotter summers. Through interactive activities and round-table discussions, you'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, explore local perspectives, and help shape conversations about living well in a hotter future. The event will begin with a short introduction to extreme heat, wellbeing, infrastructure, and our ongoing research in Devon. You'll then take part in a range of hands-on activities, including local heat mapping, dot-voting on the issues that matter most to you, and exploring stories and experiences shared by Devon residents. The session will conclude with small-group discussions focused on key questions about climate change and summer heat, before bringing everyone together to share ideas and identify priorities for the future. We will be inviting local councillors, charities, community organisations, and residents to take part, creating an opportunity to hear a wide range of perspectives and experiences. Tea, coffee, and light refreshments will be available throughout the morning, with a catered lunch provided from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. No specialist knowledge is required, and all materials will be provided. Spaces are limited for this event. If you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket so that someone else can take your place.
