For more than 100 years, biospheres, ecosystems and habitats around the world have been gradually destroyed with devastating consequences.  Local people who depend upon the flora and fauna have been left marginalised, species are disappearing, there is poor water retention and local and global climatic conditions are changing for the worse because of the destruction of large areas of forests.

Two of TCW’s interns working on the Access to Affordable Energy Programme, Adam and Chloe, both of the University of Bristol, have raised funds to travel to India on a fact-finding mission. Their purpose is to better understand the energy needs of the communities that TCW is hoping to support, the potential for renewable energy solutions and the impact of working with these communities in the context of local development.

Discount Banner Printing have very kindly offered to print the recipe books created by the children on our Global Citizen Twinning Programme for free!

We would like to say a huge thank-you to them for their generous support. 

Last night's Ladies Night at Bordeaux Quay in Bristol raised a fabulous £700 for TCW and the event was a roaring success. 

46 tickets were sold and these lovely ladies enjoyed a range of beauty treatments and cocktails in wonderful female company.

TCW's CEO Wendy Stephenson had hoped to be at the event but had to fly out to India at short notice. The following is an address she had planned to make that we thought we would share here...
