Rock Against Extinction Thursday 26 October 2023 Exeter Phoenix

Exeter Community Alliance is a collective of sixty community groups which supports the work of Climate Action Hub Exeter.

The hub opened last November in an empty Princesshay shopping centre retail unit as part of a network of climate emergency centres across the UK.

It was forced to vacate the premises in August this year after agents acting on behalf of landlords the Crown Estate refused to renew its lease.

Climate Action Hub Exeter is currently operating from temporary stalls on Exeter High Street while it seeks a new home.
