Climate Change
In 2024, get2gether members were learning about climate change with Dynamic Earth. The ‘Mission & Mindset’ project we were part of included co-designing learning sessions that promote an increased awareness of the environmental issues among our community members by promoting accessible language to discuss climate change and climate anxiety.
Engaging adults with disabilities in environmental discussions enriches the climate changee
dialogue, ensuring a broad range of perspectives contributes to collective understanding of climate change.
As a result of this project, our members started actively exploring ways to make personal pledges aimed at reducing individual impacts on the environment. Through their engagement with ‘Mission & Mindset’ at Dynamic Earth, get2gether members started taking concrete actions and contributing to a more sustainable future.

AGMs
Each year, we host an Annual General Meeting including our board, trustees, funders, partnerships and membership. This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the year and to thank everyone who has helped make it a successful year for our organisation. Our AGMs are also a chance for our membership to shine with creative performances, such as DJ and dance sets.
Below we have included highlights and exerpts from AGMS 2020 – 2023
