At the Library

After all the horror of what’s happened in Southport, it’s been a real privilege to work with young people (and their grown-ups) in @SeftonLibraries over the last 2 days exploring protest and the things that they are passionate about. There is hope for the future! #LoveSefton

Thanks to ⁦@SeftonLibraries⁩ ⁦@the_libraries⁩ for our visit and workshop on air pollution yesterday. We enjoyed using the air quality monitors and it made us aware of the local air pollution. Thank you for the opportunity. ⁦@StJosephCMAT⁩ #ecowarriors
