Belper Goes Green will return…in 2024
We are thrilled to announce that our community event will be returning in 2024 from June 7th-9th. However, we still need more help to make it a success.
If you’re interested in getting involved and being part of this exciting event, please don’t hesitate to contact us at bgg@transitionbelper.org. We have several roles to fill, and your support will be greatly appreciated.
Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates on how you can help and what you can expect. It takes a community to hold a community event, and we would be delighted to hear from you.
Thank you for your interest in Belper Goes Green. We look forward to seeing you in 2024!
