Cross Country Cycling for the Climate Crisis
Congratulations to People's Mission Hall member Andy Marshall, Founder of Harrison Brands, who cycled from South London to Cornwall for Goodfest, in a remarkable mission to reduce his carbon footprint.
In Andy's words:
"Their tagline, “Dream Big, Act Now,” truly spoke to me. For me, dreaming is about seeing the potential for real change, and acting is the necessary step we must all take to turn that vision into reality. It’s not just a slogan – it’s a personal call."
