We are really excited to announce the launch of a two-year project working with Broadband provider Quickline.
Throughout 2026 and 2027, Quickline will continue to build their full fibre network across North Yorkshire, connecting dozens of rural communities to fast and reliable broadband.
As part of this project, Quickline have asked us to partner with them to deliver a programme of climate learning sessions across the area.
Drawing on our expertise in delivering both Climate Fresk and Carbon Literacy, we will be running free-to-attend, community-based sessions in-person in community hubs and villages halls throughout 2026 and 2027.
Climate Fresk is an interactive card game, based on the latest climate science. This hands-on workshop empowers participants to build their own climate systems, leading to a deeper understanding of what is causing the climate crisis. With a strong focus on wellbeing & action, the sessions enable people to discuss what climate change means to them, and how best they can reduce emissions and protect their communities.
For those looking for more in-depth space to action-plan, and a globally recognised qualification, a further half day session on Carbon Literacy will also be available online following the Climate Fresk sessions. During these sessions, our experienced Carbon Literacy trainers will support participants to build two action plans to reduce emissions at home or in their communities.
Speak Carbon’s Pete Watkins had this to say about working with Quickline:
“We’re thrilled to be working with Quickline on a project that puts people and community at the heart of climate action. Rural communities across North Yorkshire have a huge amount of knowledge, resilience and creativity, and these sessions are designed to build on that. By combining Climate Fresk’s creative but science-led approach with the action plan focus of Carbon Literacy; we’re creating spaces where people can learn, reflect and take meaningful action together. It’s a privilege to support communities where I live, shaping a low-carbon future that works for everyone.”
Quickline’s Social Values and Events Manager Sarah Lilleyman-Hall, has this to say about the project: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Speak Carbon on this project to bring climate learning to rural communities across North Yorkshire. At Quickline, we’re not only focused on connecting people digitally, we also want to help build stronger, more sustainable communities. These sessions will give local people the chance to learn, share ideas and take practical steps to protect the environment around them.”
