UK Charities Need to Plan for Climate Change2nd February 2010
UK charities must plan and prepare for the impact of climate change now to ensure they are ready to cope with changing demands on their services in future. New guidance for voluntary and community groups encourages them to think beyond reducing their own carbon footprint to consider how the people and communities they help may need extra support to deal with flooding, heat waves and rising costs brought on by climate change. |

Charities should spend less time campaigning and more time delivering services, according to Oliver Letwin, the chairman of the Conservative Policy Review.
NCVO member ShelterBox, the fast response international aid charity, was among the first organisations to put up aid tents in Haiti after devastating earthquakes left over 200,000 people dead and 1.5 million homeless in the impoverished Caribbean country.
