Wandsworth Sustainable September
A month of community action across September 2024 to tackle climate change and protect nature.
Sustainable September is a month celebrating and championing local sustainability initiatives in Wandsworth. We want to make it easier for all residents across the borough to ‘act sustainably’ this September.
Events
This September, dive into sustainable action with over 35 free events happening nearly every day!
From a range of art workshops and bat walks to free seasonal meals and planting sessions, there’s something for everyone. Embrace the opportunity to make a difference right on your doorstep. Let’s come together for a greener, more sustainable community!
Check out the full events programme.
