Climate breakdown will make storms like Γ‰owyn more frequent & more intense.

We know that the more fossil fuels are burned, the worse it will get.

Let's save lives - by staying safe today + rapidly transitioning away from oil & gas.

Creating a Sustainable Gryffe is a charity in Renfrewshire/Inverclyde. We aim to make the villages along the Gryffe valley more sustainable. We will launch a repair cafe in 2025, which will help keep items out of landfill and save money, while building skills and community.
