Sean Woodcock MP constituency meeting
The Peoples Emergency Briefing events in June resulted in large numbers of residents getting in touch with our local MP Sean Woodcock asking him to support a televised National Emergency Briefing on climate and nature. Following on from the amount of correspondence Sean has received on this issue he has offered to hold an event to discuss this briefing with local residents. Sean will lead a discussion and Q&A session for constituents in Charlbury on Friday August 14th, 5pm-7pm.
This meeting with MP Sean Woodcock offers a fascinating and important opportunity to help shape what changes in approach and priorities the Labour Government might take on climate change and nature loss.
Due to parliamentary security advice we cannot publicise the venue in advance so please message me directly if you would like to register for the event and be advised of the venue.

Young hedgehog, Tuppence, now receiving TLC from the Hedgehog Lady
First thing this morning a local resident found a young hedgehog, about 5-6 weeks old, less than the size of her hand, stranded on her doorstep on Market Street. But no time was wasted and now Tuppence, 180 grams in weight, is receiving TLC from the our local hedgehog nurse, the HedgehogLady in Carterton. We look forward to welcoming Tuppence back home to Charlbury very soon. Thank you to the HedgehogLady for looking after our hedgehogs so well.
Please keep an eye out for other hedgehogs, particularly young ones as it is hoglet time, and during this drought leave water out for them and other creatures.
We raise funds to support our hedgehogs and the HedghogLady. If you would like to make a donation mark your donation HF (Hedge Fund) and send to ‘Charlbury Wildlife Society' account number 77328260 and sort code 30-91-92.
Thank you.

Riverside Green Room
Come on over to the brand new Riverside Green Room this weekend, celebrating 30 wonderful Riverside years, and sponsored by Sustainable Charlbury. There's a great line up of speakers, particularly after my slot kicking the whole thing off! Along with the obvious highlight of Sally Wainwright following soon after me there will also be the opportunity to meet and hear Will Dennis on Sunday. Will is the recently appointed Nature Recovery Co-ordinator, engaged by the Town Council with funding support from - who else - Sustainable Charlbury.
Hope to see you over the weekend!

Thank you to The Bell, Charlbury and our Volunteers
I just want to say the most enormous thank you to Nathan and his team at The Bell, Charlbury. The Charlbury Community Centre hold a Pimms Stall at the Charlbury Beer Festival every year to raise funds for our charity that serves our whole community so well. We were overwhelmed by their generosity and the enthusiasm the team at The Bell had for helping us - they donated absolutely everything and their staff chopped 22 boxes of fruit too! Because of this, we raised just under £4,000.00 in just a few hours. We sold out! Also, a massive thank you to the team of Volunteers who manned the Pimms Stall in that blistering heat - they kept smiling and serving until the last drop!
We are so very fortunate to have the Daylesford family here in Charlbury, and a wonderful team of Volunteers. As Trustee for the Thomas Gifford Trust who run the Community Centre, may I extend heartfelt thanks to all those involved from myself and the Board of Trustees.
