The Great Big Green Week Begins Today

Saturday, 10 June 2023 06:00

By Charlie Hopper

The local people of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey are set to take part in a week dedicated to climate change. 

The 'Great Big Green Week' campaign returns to the Yorkshire Coast with the hopes of drawing attention to the natural environment. 

David Stone, who's the strategic development officer at Coast and Vale Community Action - says that the week will be a celebration for what the local community do to look after the environment. 

Across the Yorkshire Coast there will be free community events as well as special offers from local businesses in the area.

The community events include a repair cafe at The Street in Scarborough as well as a community picnic in The Street gardens.

David Stone says that the week has been well supported by the local community.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
