Chesterfield Borough Council - Climate Change Forum


Chesterfield Borough Council launched a new Climate Change Forum last year, inviting community representatives to help shape how we tackle climate change. The group have met three times now – acting as a sounding board, commenting on current projects, suggesting new ideas and helping to raise awareness about climate projects happening either through the council or locally. Forum members bring a range of knowledge and expertise from the business and education sectors, climate groups and other community organisations. The Climate Change Forum is open to everyone and you don’t need to be an expert in climate change to take part. The forum are currently developing their own action plan and are meeting again on Thursday 6th June 2024 at 6.00pm – 8.00pm. To register your interest or find out more details about the forum please email climate@chesterfield.gov.uk

FREE EVENT: Young People & Sexual Health – Engagement through partnership

Young people deserve access to quality education, services and support around sex and relationships. The challenges young people face now in relation to sex, identity and sexuality are complex and far reaching and exist in both on-line and off-line spaces. Within the digital word sexting, porn, toxic ideologies, online grooming and bullying all impact our young people’s mental and sexual health and wellbeing. Whilst unplanned pregnancies, harms relating to relationship abuse, and sexuality transmitted infections continue to disproportionally impact on young people.

Young people from across Derbyshire have told us they value information advice and support from professionals who feel comfortable and confident in talking about sex and relationships.

We believe that by working together we can help support of young people to navigate the challenges they face, and to make healthy, positive choices in relation to their sexual health and wellbeing.

The Sexual Health Network events are hosted by Integrated Sexual Health Services who offer a range of services for young people across Derbyshire and Derby City.
