What’s happening with climate and nature, and what does it mean for everyday life in the UK?

Join us at St Luke’s CARES on Friday 18 september 2026 for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing – an eye-opening 50-minute film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:

  • Extreme weather
  • Food security
  • Health
  • Cost of living

The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times) with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK.

After the film there will be an open discussion about what it means for our community and what we can do locally.  Along with food and refreshments.

We have invited the local MP,  Hilary Benn, and are optimistic that they will join with constituents for this important discussion about our future.

Seats are free but limited so please book in advance.

If after booking you are unable to attend, we’d be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can re-allocate your ticket to someone else.

This whole event is free, if you would like to donate towards the running of this event you will be able to do so on the day.

Bring a friend, neighbour or family member: everyone is welcome.

While you’re here, can we ask a favour?

South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper which have doubled in the last two years.
