Action Groups
Action Groups are sub groups within BREAZE. They are formed by members to run an event, activity or anything environmental/ sustainable that intereests them. This could be to do with local food, transport ,advocacy or just to raise community awareness of particular issues. It may also be an existing group that allready exists that wants to become affiliated within BREAZE. There are also a number of local groups within our area that are independent of BREAZE that similar ideasl to us. They are listed here.

Paid Positions
There are many activities that take too much time to expect volunteers to commit to over an extended period. BREAZE has established a panel of contractors it calls upon when there is a project that requires a level of expertise and commitment and that there is funding provided through grants or some other mechanism. By doing this BREAZE is making the organisation itself more sustainable by minimising the 'burn out' that often occurs in volunteer organisations.
News and Events
There is a lot of activities going on through BREAZE and other local events. Through facebook, newsletters and this section we try and keep you abreast of all the activities and events.
Community Action
Community Action are events, activities or programs that BREAZE or local groups are involved in. In can encompass a range of activities like
- increasing awareness through talks or displays
- workshops or talks to increase peoples awareness of energy needs
BREAZE handles this through Programs and Action Groups.
There are also a number of other local groups and programs that BREAZE is aware of that are doing work in the environmental space.
Business and Government
BREAZE works with government in two ways
- advocacy
At all levels of the government we attempt to influence policies and decisions. The more members, subscribers, facebook followers we have the more influence we have.
- working groups
BREAZE has a close working relationship with a number of business and government organisations. We are represented on a number of their committees.
