Karuna Tharmananthar is a trustee for Climate Action Taunton. Here, he explains how he supports the charity, and how he benefits in return.

“I am the Treasurer at Climate Action Taunton, but at the moment, I am also doing a lot of outreach work and supporting the development of our programmes.

“Our aim is to provide information and increase understanding of the impact of climate change to local residents. We want to demonstrate that people can have a positive and constructive response to the climate and ecological crises.

“Being part of the team here has allowed me to learn, form deep friendships, make a small difference towards making life a little bit better, and do some collective good!
