Event Support

We’re looking for volunteers to help us run our events. If you’re passionate about heat and sustainability and great with people we’d love your help. Our events and community meetings are where supporters, community allies, and community leaders meet to discuss challenges and solutions related to heat and inequity in our cities.

Our events generate great discussion and equip community members with the skills to be a part of solutions to heat inequality. We’d love your help!

Social Media Supporter

Do you love sharing great ideas and good causes on your social media? Tag us in your community posts, share our content and engage with us via our socials!

Community Organisation Allies

We value the relationships we have with like-minded organisations that are passionate about bridging climate inequities. By working together, we increase our power in the community, reach more people and generate change. 

Together, we can organise and host events with shared values and goals, reach more members of the community and work together on campaigns that address climate inequity in our cities.

Do you belong to an organisation who would like to be a part of Sweltering Cities vision for more liveable, equitable and sustainable cities? We’d love to hear from you!

Photography

We want to see images of local heat impacts and cool solutions. You don’t need a fancy camera to submit your #BustedBusStop or local hot spot photos, the camera on your phone is perfect. If you’d like to get involved with taking photos for the #BustedBusStop campaign you can get more information here, otherwise let us know if you’d like to help with general photos below.

Organising and Outreach

There are lots of different ways to talk to people who we might not be able to reach online about about extreme heat. We regularly phone Sweltering Cities supporters to let them know about what we are up to and new events and campaigns. We also have plans for stalls, door knocking and letterboxing.

Researcher

Issues related to extreme heat are complex and diverse. We often need to research issues so that we have a deeper understanding for advocacy, and to communicate information to our community supporters. If you have some time to read reports, investigate an issue or help us analyse data – we need you!
