SEAchange is a community group.Our vision has four strands.
- We want to work towards becoming a carbon neutral community, inspiring others also to live within the resources of our planet. We aim to learn together what can be done to reduce our carbon footprint, our waste and our use of plastics.
- We have planted a community woodland to offset part of our carbon footprint and to visually illustrate the number of trees required to achieve this. This will be a boost for local biodiversity, as well as providing a natural space for the enjoyment of people living in the area.
- In addition, we hope in the future to create a cafe where the community and visitors could gather, fostering friendships and a sense of belonging, as well as celebrating art, music and our heritage. The consultation suggests that there is a need for drop-in opportunities to meet others, especially in the winter when people can feel isolated and lonely.
- The glebe field opposite the Community Centre has been leased from the Church of Scotland, to allow further open green space and the creation of a community garden.
