Get to know the board in an observer role! 🔍

Hi Friend,

We have had busy month with the move from our old office space with Urbed to Bridge 5 Mill as well as great events like the launch of Thinking Like a Climate with Hannah Knox and nearly 70 attendees. The next few months don't look any quieter!

Carbon Co-op has grown rapidly over the past year, and we take pride in being led by our members. If you think you might be interested in standing for our board, but aren't quite sure yet, why not take on the role of observer? You can sit in on the existing meetings and get to know the existing group of board members, before making a decision.

To find out more just let us know by replying to this email!
