Training the trainers

I’ve just spent 2 exhausting days at Trafford Hall with residents organisations from Chester. We had 2 inspiring trainers and I’ve come home with lots of new ideas and a few things I’d forgotten. Just goes to show, we can always learn something new and be inspired by groups who have the imagination and the drive to inspire their communities. Fortified by plenty of Fairtrade chocolate (thanks Lucy) we all had the opportunity to develop our knowledge about energy conservation and develop an action plan to support our community projects. I’m looking forward to seeing how the action plans we devised  work out and hopefully sharing skills with other communities across Chester. I also learnt about projects in Chester I knew nothing about, a community garden, an urban farm and an energy saving project which has several hard working volunteers working with their neighbours.  Thanks to Cath Forkin for inviting me along and to all the participants for making the course such good fun.
