People's Emergency Briefing

Free film screening and discussion

Thursday 1 Oct 2026, 7.00pm - 9.15pm
in the St Andrew Centre (behind the church), St Andrew Street SG14 1HZ

You’ve probably noticed the weird weather patterns: the horrendously wet winter following previous droughts and heatwaves; and felt the impact of rising food and fuel prices; and noted the increased cost of insurance. If you have, then you might want to catch this local screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing, a new 50-minute film hosted by Chris Packham, that sets out in clear terms, the risks and threats that communities like ours face in terms of extreme weather, rising costs and impacts on health, food security, the economy, and national security.

It’s not all doom though – solutions already exist and are highlighted in the film, which is a call to action for us all.

The screening is free to everyone aged 16 and over and there will be an opportunity to listen to people’s reactions in a 45-minute facilitated discussion afterwards. This is a safe space in which to say what you feel. Seats are free and you can just come on the day, but places are limited so to be sure of a seat please book in advance. Bring a friend, neighbour or family member - everyone is welcome.

In case you aren't free on 1 October or have a friend in another part of the country that you think would be interested, be aware that 2026 will see community screenings right across the country.
