Ouse Valley Climate Action

Ouse Valley Climate Action is a National Lottery-funded programme bringing the community together to inspire positive action to mitigate the effects of climate change in the lower Ouse Valley and Havens

In October 2022, Ouse Valley Climate Action was awarded £2m Climate Action Funding from the National Lottery Community Fund – the largest funder of community activity in the UK – to make the area a national pioneer in tackling the climate change emergency.

The East Sussex partnership comprises 10 organisations, including the South Downs National Park Authority, South Downs National Park Trust, Lewes District Council, community energy businesses, voluntary and charitable organisations, working with dozens of local community groups, and has an ambitious goal of empowering local people to help create one of the first communities in England to fully embrace climate action.
