Our Zero Selby is a programme which is looking to tackle climate change in a way that works for people in Selby. The first phase of the programme was in 2021 when we developed a community-led vision for reducing carbon emissions and developed a series of project ideas to make this happen.
This year the programme has gained funding from the National Lottery to move forward with those projects which will help tackle climate change factoring in five key themes of skills, jobs, fairness, health and wellbeing for people in Selby. This is an exciting opportunity to start to take action on climate change in a way that positively impacts on local people’s lives. One of the key next steps is ensuring local people's voices are heard throughout this work as it moves forward. This is why we are recruiting up to 8 local people to form a Citizen Governance Group for this programme.

You don’t need any prior knowledge or experience to take part - just a willingness to share your experiences of living in Selby, listen to the information presented, and give your opinions on how residents should be involved in local decisions.
The first meeting is on the Thursday 3rd October 2024 from 3pm-5pm. This will take place in Selby. We will work with you to agree the dates for the future meetings of the Citizen Governance Group. If you are interested in participating in the Citizen Governance Group but cannot make this time, please let us know by completing the form and saying that in that question. The time for the first meeting is set, but we will be able to work with you to schedule future meetings at a time that works for everyone, including evenings if needed.
