Rewild the Church – Oxford

Oxford Climate Choir were joined by friends from Bristol Bath and Plymouth to support the Wildcard campaign for the Church of England to rewild 30% of its land by 2030. We were kindly hosted by the University Church of St Mary’s on the High Street and then also sang in Radcliffe Square and Christchurch Meadows in view of the spire of Christchurch Cathedral, one of whose clergy Rev. Val Plumb is proposing the rewilding motion at the Church of England Synod. We sang ‘Rewild the Church’ and ‘We need the Trees’

Singing Workshop at the Oxford Folk Festival

Singing Workshop as part of Oxford Folk Festival. This was a great success: about 25 people came along (including existing choir members) to learn some of our songs on the theme of rivers and trees. Feedback was very positive and we hope to be asked back next year!

Oxford at Stop Rosebank Campaign

With a decision expected on the climate-wrecking Rosebank Oilfield, Oxford Climate Choir recorded a special video message for Oxford East MP Anneliese Dodds. We received a thank you and acknowledgement that she had viewed it, so hope it will encourage her to speak out against Rosebank. And we made the news, with our action reported by both the Oxford Mail and Cherwell Newspaper.

Several choir members also joined the Climate Choir Movement flashmob at two London railway stations.
