Sustainable Staveley is a website bringing together different initiatives in the village of Staveley, in the Lake District to tackle the climate crisis.  You will find information on current and past projects which include green energy, sustainable transport and five short films about the village. There are also links to further sources of information, local news and suggestions on how to take action to tackle climate change and promote biodiversity.

SENS was formed in November 2007 to promote sustainability action in the village, by looking at ways to reduce home energy use, explore the potential for hydro-electric schemes, promote cycling and walking, develop renewable technologies and raise awareness of and take action on climate change.  2015 floods brought (climate) chaos to our village, and since then we have seen episodes of extreme weather each year.
