Power Up 2011

4 April 2011

Power Up is a unique training weekend hosted by Friends of the Earth.

Designed to help you get the knowledge, confidence and contacts to use the legal and planning system to make a difference where you live.

Power up will leave you feeling inspired and energised - ready to apply new skills to your local issues.

Who is Power Up for?

You don't have to be an expert - whether you're already involved in a local campaign or completely new to campaigning.

Just as long as you're interested in making your area a fairer, cleaner and healthier place - then Power Up is for you.

Watch our short video to find out more:

How will Power Up help you and your community?

Power Up will give you:

• campaign knowledge and practical tools to share with your community.
• the confidence to speak up and get involved in making decisions.

This is particularly important because of the Government's proposed changed to the planning system in the Localism Bill.
