Welcome to Oxshott Net Zero
We are a group of Oxshott residents working to reduce our carbon emissions through acting as a local link for Elmbridge, Surrey or national environmental initiatives; sharing information and ideas and running local events and projects. There's lots of inspiration, events to attend and opportunties to help practically on these pages so please check through our website.
After lots of research to find the right approach (there's so much information out there) we are working to promote an initiative called Take the JUMP in the village. You can get involved as an individual, a group of friends or an organisation. Scroll down this page to find out more and to discover other ways to get involved. Let's work together as a village to reduce our carbon emissions and keep Oxshott safe for future generations.
To hear about upcoming talks and events please join our mailing list and leave us your email address. Use the contact form.
Local guide to sustainable living
This comprehensive book is a great place to start for all things sustainable. Drawing on a treasure-trove of advice from the last 3 years of speakers and events at the Weston Green and Thames Ditton Nature and Climate Festival...
including a section on Take the JUMP from Oxshott Net Zero. If you are looking for simple, comprehensive advice, you might want to look here first.

Get involved
Take the JUMP
The JUMP is a joyous, grassroots movement working to inspire and empower individuals and groups to act on climate change: specifically to 'take the JUMP' by trying 6 shifts to protect our planet. These shifts have been identified through research as the most impactful changes in behaviour which individuals can make. They have also been identified as the level of change required to avoid climate breakdown. Have a go on your own or get a group of friends together to take the challenge for 1, 3 or 6 months.
Take part
The repair cafe is a great project to get involved with. Bring along your damaged household items or clothing for repair; have a chat and a bite to eat in the cafe or join us as a repairer or a welcomer.
If the repair cafe doesn't sound like your thing, we need volunteers for other projects such as Plastic Free Oxshott and the sustainable gardening initiative. Please get in touch!
Invite us to speak
Gather a group of friends together over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and we will come and talk to you about Take the JUMP or about one of our other projects. Or invite us to come and speak to your group or club.
We run occasional talks around Oxshott. Keep an eye out for what's on or check local magazines for details.
Funding
We are grateful to have received a grant from Councillor Mark Sugdon to support our launch event in April 2023 and further grants from Surrey Climate Commission and Elmbridge Borough Council. Any profits from the Repair Cafe will be ploughed back into other Oxshott Net Zero projects (the Repair Cafe has not yet reached this position). If you would like to make a donation, please contact us or use the button below for our Just-Giving page.
