Welcome to Oxshott Net Zero

We are a group of Oxshott residents working to reduce our carbon emissions through acting as a local link for Elmbridge, Surrey or national environmental initiatives; sharing information and ideas and running local events and projects. There's lots of inspiration, events to attend and opportunties to help practically on these pages so please check through our website.

After lots of research to find the right approach (there's so much information out there) we are working to promote an initiative called Take the JUMP in the village. You can get involved as an individual, a group of friends or an organisation. Scroll down this page to find out more and to discover other ways to get involved. Let's work together as a village to reduce our carbon emissions and keep Oxshott safe for future generations.

To hear about upcoming talks and events please join our mailing list and leave us your email address. Use the contact form.

Take the JUMP

The JUMP is a joyous, grassroots movement working to inspire and empower individuals and groups to act on climate change: specifically to 'take the JUMP' by trying 6 shifts to protect our planet. These shifts have been identified through research as the most impactful changes in behaviour which individuals can make. They have also been identified as the level of change required to avoid climate breakdown. Have a go on your own or get a group of friends together to take the challenge for 1, 3 or 6 months.

Take part

The repair cafe is a great project to get involved with. Bring along your damaged household items or clothing for repair; have a chat and a bite to eat in the cafe or join us as a repairer or a welcomer.
If the repair cafe doesn't sound like your thing, we need volunteers for other projects such as Plastic Free Oxshott and the sustainable gardening initiative. Please get in touch!

Invite us to speak

Gather a group of friends together over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and we will come and talk to you about Take the JUMP or about one of our other projects. Or invite us to come and speak to your group or club.
We run occasional talks around Oxshott. Keep an eye out for what's on or check local magazines for details.
