Connector members

We offer a Connector Membership for organisations and partnerships, that have a wider remit but are supportive of the core aims of CAG Somerset, who want to be linked into a wide range of community groups taking local action on climate issues. Our Connector Membership offers meaningful ways for larger groups and organisations to interact with the CAG network.
