Update from Sustainable Cottenham
1. We have been notified that Sustainable Cottenham’s application to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation has been approved. Charity Number 1188763. The founding trustees are Christine Ward, Jane Heath, Catherine Burch and Justin Hiscock. Being a CIO will strengthen our future funding applications – although we already have a 100% (5 out of 5!) success rate.
2. Due to the COVID-19 emergency we have had to postpone all our events for early 2020 until further notice: Sunday Socials, the litter pick and cycle path tidy. The Repair Café in early April which Vicky Lacey was organising supported by SusCott members has also been postponed. We are putting the plans for EcoEats on hold but not postponing as most of the activity is planned for mid-October – naturally we will keep this under review.
3. The Sunday Social team is planning how best to support the older and more vulnerable attendees while they are self-isolating.
4. Several SusCott members are working with the Cottenham COVID-19 support team/Cottenham Neighbours to help the community at this worrying time. Regardless of whether/how you are able to help please keep safe and look out for your family, friends and neighbours. ...
