Annie Merry from Faiths4Change has been working to develop climate action initiatives across Liverpool and beyond for a number of years. At its core, their work is a practical expression of what needs to happen locally, achieved by working together on projects that the whole team shapes.

Their three main areas of work are:

Land based work

  • Growing organic food
  • Maintaining soil health
  • Gentle activism – challenging habits, such as food waste

They have projects in St Michaels in the City and more recently they have been engaged in renovating a garden allotment site in Knotty Ash

Supporting the circular economy

  • They have worked to reduce textile waste and they try to address the fast fashion industry
  • They are involved in education
  • They work with schools to provide education, setting up mock UN style conferences where children represent different countries and their climate change concerns.

Faith and climate action projects

  • They support churches in their work to reduce their carbon footprint
  • They are involved in reducing pollution associated with travel
  • They support faith and climate action projects, including those that involve civil disobedience
  • They network with other organisations, reaching outside their faith community
  • They share their knowledge with others
