As the coordinator of Maldon Neighbourhood House, Amy Atkinson is at the heart of a vibrant, engaged and active community where the median age is approaching 60. Climate change isn't talked about much in Maldon - even though the impacts of are likely to have a disproportionately negative affect on older people.

 "We're grass roots organisation - we're activist organisations really, we can make change in the community."

 Amy Attkinson | Maldon Community House Coordinator

In this soundwork Amy walks us through the Climate Ready Maldon project, and how she went about creating awareness of the impacts of climate change and the ways individuals can and need to better prepare for it without trying to get everyone onto the same page.

Mark Spencer

Hello!
I'm Mark, and I'm a podcast addict. I've turned my tens of thousands of misbegotten hours binging history, comedy, and everything in-between into being a keen collaborator on audio projects (climate, local stories, place-based audio especially).

I work with passionate people to turn their ideas into published projects, when I'm not working in the renewable energy space in Naarm/Melbourne.
