Hello Matlock! Please join us for...
📢 A special community screening: The People’s Emergency Briefing #PEBuk
What’s happening with climate and nature, and what does it mean for everyday life in the UK?
Join us for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing - an eye-opening film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:
🌧️ Extreme weather
🍞 Food security
🏥 Health
💷 Cost of living
The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times) with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK.
After the film there will be a short open discussion about what it means for our community and what we can do locally.
We are inviting our District Councillors and are optimistic that they will join with constituents for this important discussion about our future.
📍 Imperial Rooms, Matlock
📅 Thursday 13th August
🕖 6.00pm - 8.15pm
Seats are free but limited so please book in advance.

Bring a friend, neighbour or family member: everyone is welcome.
Note: the film is only being shown at in-person screenings and is not available online.
Thank you for screening this important expert briefing, so that people can make their own minds up rather than being totally reliant on what the (mostly billionaire-owned) mainstream media choose to tell us.
For those that can’t make it, would it be possible for it to be summarised so we can access the information?
Thank you. Is it the only screening please?
Will be interesting to hear our MPs thoughts on Food Security… seeing that his party wants to lose fields for Solar, drive family farmers out of business. A cost of living driven up by their crazy policies. It contains a feature by the foremost specialist in all things Chris Packham and Deborah Meaden! And before im branded a climate denier or some other typical leftie insult, my job is actually working in environmental and climate change. This is a leftie propaganda piece, written to misinform and indoctrinate. Oh no I’m also not ‘far right’ my politics are straight down the middle. Using the old adage of ‘common sense’
What a load of bollocks
