		<description><![CDATA[Energy Bills and Green Energy – The Facts  With intense political scrutiny on energy bills, it suits energy companies and certain politicians, to place the blame on green energy. It is, therefore, important that we all keep telling people the facts. Green measures are responsible for £112 of the average £1287 family dual fuel bill. <a href='/green-subsidy-facts-from-ian-williams/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

<li id="yui_3_7_2_1_1382016429517_4493">Fossil fuels are costing us dearly, between 2004 and 2010 dual fuel bills rose by £455, of which £382 was due to soaring gas prices (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://is.gd/EIIXiz</span>).</li>
<li>Globally subsidies for fossil fuels are $409 billion compared to $66 billion for renewable energy (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://is.gd/bTK7Iy</span>).</li>
<li>The annual government grant to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority is £2.3 billion. Divide that by £26.3 million households and you find the average cost per household of dealing with nuclear waste is £87 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://www.nda.gov.uk/aboutus/</span></li>
</ul>
<p>As renewable energy becomes more mature, scrutiny will continue to increase. We have a great story to tell about using our own natural energy resources to make us more secure, rather than relying on gas from Qatar.  Of inspiring local companies developing skills and technologies in a growing industry they can export around the world.  And of costs coming down whilst fossil fuel costs go up.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But we cannot rely on others to tell that story for us &#8211; a message Ed Davey made strongly at our House of Commons event this week.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year Regen launched our SW Renewable Energy Manifesto. On 26 November our Renewable Futures and Green Energy conference, exhibition and awards will showcase what our industry is achieving. In the past two weeks alone, I have been interviewed for BBC Points West, BBC Radio Somerset, Pirate FM and the Western Morning News (twice).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I invite you to work even more closely with us, to tell the exciting story of what green energy has to offer. Please send me your stories of jobs and investment to mhyman@regensw.co.uk.</p>
<p>Join us at <span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.regensw.co.uk/information/login-join-us</span>; showcase your projects and ambitions at Renewable Futures <span style="text-decoration: underline;">www.renewable-futures.co.uk</span>.</p>
<p>We encourage you to spread the message widely.</p>

<p>Welcome to the latest edition of our <strong id="yui_3_7_2_1_1379599122173_2062">Zimele UK Newsletter</strong>. It&#8217;s been just over six months since our last update; we still need to work on getting this out more often.  We hope you&#8217;ll be as excited as we&#8217;ve been to see the progress in South Africa and glad to hear about our continuing efforts to support the work there.</p>
<p>Fundraising events in 2013 have seen us continue with a couple of local traditions, such as the &#8216;Toddle&#8217;, and also explore new areas like the Big Give Garden Party over in Gloucestershire.  We&#8217;ve broken new ground with funding from Wales Africa Community Links to establish friendships between Abergavenny and Swayimane in South Africa. This enabled 2 of our trustees, Tom and Rebecca, to visit the project and see Zimele in action first hand.</p>
<p>Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. <strong>We hope you enjoy a fruitful Autumn!</strong><br />

Our ambitious project this year is to build a new pre-school, in Swayimane. We&#8217;re starting our fundraising drive for this with the Big Give Christmas Challenge. You may remember this from last year! We had an exciting but tense time at the beginning of December where we appealed for online donations. These donations were then matched by our charity champion and our own supporters who pledged earlier in the year. We raised over £4500 for the farmers association. You can read more about our this year&#8217;s project <a href="http://zimelecommunity.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c&amp;id=f689972fc4&amp;e=d2e469067d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br />
We&#8217;re currently looking for &#8216;pledgers&#8217;, those supporters who are able to commit to a donation of £100 or more in January. Your donation will then be used with those from the charity champion, to match December&#8217;s donations. It&#8217;s hard to explain succinctly, but the effect is that that your donation can be multiplied by 4! Do contact us for more information, or you can find out more <a href="http://zimelecommunity.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c&amp;id=c4e70ad7c2&amp;e=d2e469067d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br />

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>News</strong></span></p>
<p>Our Plant Sale again surprised us! Your generous donations of plants and cakes exceeded last year by some way, as did the money raised on the day. Tea and cake featured heavily, making up for chilly weather! Despite the clouds, it was a lovely social occasion with plenty of horticultural discussion and advice exchanged.<br />
<img alt="Plant Sale" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c/images/2013_05_24_09.47.18.1.jpg" width="160" height="120" /></p>
<p>There was a shift of venue for our second sponsored &#8216;Toddle&#8217; in Abergavenny.  This family walk, open especially to the tiniest walkers, conquered the Skirrid. Last year we mastered the Sugarloaf, leaving the last of the holy trinity of Abergavenny peaks, The Blorenge, for next year.  There was some impressive determination from the smallest walkers and sheer speed from some of the middle sized kids. Well done to them all!<br />
<img id="yui_3_7_2_1_1379599122173_2017" alt="Our youngest walker, aged 1" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c/images/DSC_0226.1.jpg" width="213" height="120" />   <img id="yui_3_7_2_1_1379599122173_2052" alt="First to the top" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c/images/2013_06_08_13.40.11.1.jpg" width="90" height="120" />   <img alt="Enjoying the edible medals" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c/images/2013_06_08_14.26.59.1.jpg" width="90" height="120" /></p>
<p>A new event was our wine tasting evening at the beautiful setting of the <a href="http://zimelecommunity.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c&amp;id=8041df717c&amp;e=d2e469067d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sugarloaf Vineyard</a> in Abergavenny, where we sampled 4 of their award winning wines and enjoyed one of those September evenings where it was still warm enough to sit outside. We can&#8217;t go as far as saying it was balmy, but a lovely evening was had by all&#8230;</p>
<p>The expanding range of Zimele craft products made appearances at the Hay Festival, Abergavenny Fairtrade Social, and the Big Give Garden Party.  The latter venue in the gardens of Sir Alec Reed, the founder of the Big Give, gave us a chance to make links with new supporters and introduce some of the latest jewellery designs from Zimele Fairtrade.<br />
We stock most of the product lines, as well as a few designed specially for the UK. Please have a look at the <a href="http://zimelecommunity.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c&amp;id=278783c339&amp;e=d2e469067d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">catalogue</a> or visit us at a forthcoming event.</p>
<p>We sadly say goodbye to Stuart Hands who resigned his position as a trustee for Zimele UK because of the demands of his new job. Stuart is one of our founding trustees. We owe him huge thanks for all his work since 2008.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve supported several exciting new projects this year, as well as continuing to fund the work in Mtubatuba.</p>
<p>In June, the first of the holiday workshops, funded through the estate of the late Robert Abraham, was held. This funding was specifically aimed at projects that assisted disadvantaged young black South Africans to reconnect with their heritage. Over 3 days a group of women from the Sizanani Cluster worked with young people to teach them traditional skills like dance, bead work and sewing. Young and old worked to together, making links between generations.  It created an opportunity for young people to be mentored by their elders in life skills as well as have some fun in the holidays. The craft work products were then used in an uplifting song and dance get-together for the community groups held at the Tribal Court. All performers were cheered and supported, from the most polished to the least. It was an opportunity to celebrate the work of the groups with Zimele and was a great boost to vulnerable young people.<br />

<em>And the performances!</em></p>
<p>Through the Big Give, funding was sent to support the Siyaphumelela Farmers Association. They have started to fence their land to protect it from cattle that graze freely and cause great damage to crops.</p>
<p><a href="http://zimelecommunity.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c&amp;id=02769478e8&amp;e=d2e469067d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">GAGA</a> has continued to support the self help programme, now in its 2nd year, in Mtubatuba. Tom and Rebecca were lucky enough to visit most of the groups there in a very busy day on their recent visit to South Africa.  They were shown around by <a href="http://zimelecommunity.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c&amp;id=01358f43a7&amp;e=d2e469067d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Xolani</a> of Zimele and the local facilitator, Cebe. Seeing the Zizamele group during their saving meeting brought home the simple effectiveness of the Zimele self help group programme. The group members learn straightforward administration skills and gain confidence to work together to improve their situation. Here the group save R5 at a time and loan to members for money making craft projects including decorated net food covers and traditional ceremonial bead work.<br />

<p>As we&#8217;ve already mentioned, our trustees, Tom and Rebecca, recently visited South Africa to initiate a link between Abergavenny and Swayimane, through <a href="http://zimelecommunity.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c&amp;id=d60297a0f9&amp;e=d2e469067d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wales for Africa Community Links</a>.<br />
There&#8217;s just too much to tell you in one newsletter, so please come along to our social evening on 27th October where we&#8217;ll be showing highlights from the videos we created, and talking about the trip.</p>

No cost.<br />
Please bring food and drink to share.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>How you can help</strong></span></p>
<p>Consider a monthly donation. As little as £2 per month can make a huge difference: £2 buys about 50 vegetable seedlings; £3 will fence a metre and help to save someone’s vegetable patch from the local cows that roam free; and a 25kg bag of seed potatoes costs £10. Email us for a brochure.</p>
<p>Purchase a Zimele Gift Package. Starting from £10, you will get a card, an angel tree decoration, a postcard explaining your donation to your friend, and the satisfaction of knowing you have supported a good cause.</p>
<p>Come along and visit us at an event and purchase some Fairtrade craft. All events are listed on our Facebook page and you can also purchase from St Michael’s Centre, Abergavenny. There are colourful and interesting gift ideas to suit every pocket. We will post at cost.</p>
<p>Would you like to learn more about Zimele?  If you would like to see a half hour power-point presentation, then please contact us.</p>
<p>Don’t forget about easyfundraising. Whenever you shop online, Zimele receives a donation. <a href="http://zimelecommunity.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0321b262ec69d8f767a47491c&amp;id=d612484d98&amp;e=d2e469067d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">EasyFundraising</a></p>

<strong id="yui_3_7_2_1_1379353276435_3236">@ Abergavenny Food Festival and Abergavnny Community Orchard, Saturday 21 September 2013.</strong><br />
Over the last five years we have seen exciting developments within the community farming and gardening movement in Wales. The Fed has played a pivotal role in this in both supporting the movement and promoting it at policy level, but where next? This is an opportunity to come together with other members and feedback directly to our board on where we go from here and discuss the wider impact community gardening is having in Wales.<br />
The afternoon session is optional and will be open to the public with a range of talks, including an over-view and visit to Abergavnny Community Orchard and the development of an Incredible Edible Scheme within the town.<br />

<p><strong>CLAS Cymru</strong><br />
Since the launch of the new Community Land Advisory Service in Wales on 22<sup>nd</sup> July 2013, CLAS Cymru has been working hard to bring community groups and landowners together. We also helped a community group submit a planning application for the harnessing of water on a community growing site.<br />
On a strategic level, we are currently working with local authorities, a variety of landowners and with policy makers by highlighting the benefits of community growing and how it increases opportunities for access to the countryside and recreation uses within it. For further information on CLAS Cymru, go to<a href="http://www.farmgarden.org.uk/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=4080&amp;qid=55205" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.communitylandadvice.org.uk</a> or email<a id="yui_3_7_2_1_1379353276435_3288" href="mailto:lucie@communitylandadvice.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">lucie@communitylandadvice.org.uk </a><br />

<strong>Information day for landowners, 21 October, Chepstow </strong><br />
The Community Land Advisory Service is holding an information day for landowners on Monday 21 October 2013. It will be an opportunity to see first hand how community growing can work on farm land. We will be based at the Hanley Land Share Project in Chepstow where the farmer at Severndale Farm has leased some of his land out for community growing. This will be an opportunity to gain information and advice from professional surveyors and town planners who have experience of landowners leasing their land for community growing projects. For further information contact<a href="mailto:lucie@farmgarden.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">lucie@farmgarden.org.uk</a><br />
