This is a safe, comfortable, accessible house. This is very important to people. They need to feel safe in their housing needs. We can work with people to help them understand how climate change activities can help them have a better home and spend less.

This model represents a one stop shop for climate information where you can get face to face support / advice / info about how to be more sustainable. The walls are covered in easy read posters with info about climate change / activities / organisations within the city etc. You can come in and use tools to fix things or just sit down and a have a cuppa with like minded people.

Everyone is seen and contributed equally.

There are 18 colours representing the CfC groups, they are reliant on each other to form the whole, no piece is dominant, all are equal.

This model represents carers trying to reach the "treasure" of services and access to spaces. Trees, the seafront, parks and smaller green spaces.

A gateway and a platform to access nature for everyone, using maps featuring the locals jewels happening or existing on our doorstep, creating a web to join people up and embark on a journey together

Open to all, green space & solar panels I’m trying to get funding for!

The community leading on circular solutions. The flame is the beacon of learning, ‘open door’ meaning the knowledge exchange, the trees and plants creating a kind calm and creative space, and the steering wheel to help show the constant changing of direction/ attention to different areas etc

It’s about tailoring climate solutions to fit the communities they are for. The dude on the bike can’t fit his bike in the rack… but he has a platform to say what he needs to be able to use his bike more. The dude in the hard hat is there to listen and help implement solutions. So communities talking to each other, listening and getting resources to get things done and make things better for people and planet.

This is my representation of our project- the circles are our diverse communities, small and large...

Energy generation at the heart of the community, providing clean, affordable energy for ALL. Introducing equity to the energy supply.

Open windows and door - access for all. Arrow to guide and signpost, different routes and journeys. A’ for action. Different levels and layers of action, chances to build on actions. Actions can be long or short, ending or unending.

Fruit bush, only working together, share resources we have we can achieve the greatest outcome

Lots of accessible and creative ways in to climate action, sharing knowledge and routes through. Stepping stones to help people engage and support each other. Bridges to connect communities, projects, ideas and resources. Green spaces for everyone big and small and clean seas, rivers.

The circles represent our diverse communities- large and small. Our programme is accessible.

Through the multiple colours this model represents the diversity required for impactful and collective information. The roof show the openness in hearing and understanding wider perspectives.

Finally, this model showcases a journey for climate change where through long-term commitment we can achieve meaningful change.

People working together towards a shared goal. Connection and sharing & fixing resources together. The backdrop of the horse and green represents our natural world and respecting animals and our environment.

Opening doors to engage and support access to start thinking about what climate change means to our communities

Our vision: Shared Build #4

catherineafisher — 2025-07-10 11:30:25 UTC

This incredible build puts community at the very centre - driving change. Community buildings have solar panels, the seafront and the countryside are accessible and there are multiple pathways for everyone to access what they need. Community members reel others in with their enthusiasm.

Our vision: Shared Build #1

catherineafisher — 2025-07-10 11:34:56 UTC

This build reflects a world we want to live in! Community members enjoy hanging out in the swap shop and accessible serene spaces. The Climate for Communities logo helps everyone to be seen and connected.

Our vision: Shared Build #3

catherineafisher — 2025-07-11 08:46:22 UTC

In this model everyone has access to nature. Community members have a voice in decisions that affect them. Regulations are enforced by a pirate on a motorbike.

Our Vision: Shared Build #2

catherineafisher — 2025-07-11 08:58:51 UTC

In this community centred model, people break down barriers to the services they need and develop the knowledge and skills they need to be part of climate action. Children are at the hear of the community which is powered by a community owned wind turbine..

Themes emerging from our individual builds

This wordcloud reflects the themes that emerged from our builds that felt like principles and values to upholdn the project.
