Our next National Emergency Briefing screening will be on Tuesday 20th October in Troon Walker Hall between 6.30-8.30pm.

The UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency. Yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future.

Presented by Chris Packham, the People’s Emergency Briefing brings together people in local communities across the UK to hear the evidence and discuss how to respond and unlock the war-time scale response now needed.

Film suitable for age 16+. FREE and full discussion will follow the screening with expert input.

It is Climate Week. Some initiatives, however, take place throughout the whole year.

The South Ayrshire Council’s School Footprint Challenge has been running for nearly 10 years.
The challenge has been designed to empower School Communities led by their young people to look after the environment and reduce the ecological footprint of their school.

The most recent annual celebration and award ceremony took place on 13 June 2026. Ayr Academy won while Kyle and Prestwick academies shared the second place.

Addressing climate change and raising awareness are often at the forefront of school activities. Many of the activities that schools have implemented as part of the Footprint Challenge have had direct and indirect benefits on biodiversity. This is important as the climate crisis strongly affects biodiversity. Belmont academy, for instance, has been planting trees with the local community for our Stepping Stones project.

Every year they showcase a few of their activities in a short film. For the 2025-2026 challenge the playlist can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJFMiD_Xg5EM
