Join the fight to free Surrey from its harmful investments in fossil fuel companies!

The event will be held on Saturday, 26 May at Beverley Hall Community Centre, 71 Haydoon Place, Guildford, Surrey GU1 4ND

We'll be learning and putting into practice the best techniques, tricks and strategies to convince local MPs and Councillors to back divestment and to get their support for investing in a clean energy future.
