Extinction Rebellion, known for its recent controversial protests in central London, is holding meetings in Havering to inform people about the climate emergency.

At the meetings there will be a presentation, a talk and a chance for questions.

Extinction Rebellion is looking for volunteers to get involved with art and culture, fundraising and supporting arrestees.

Alice added: "We want to get people involved and to get people to realise what's going on.

"I'm very afraid for the future she [my daughter] has."

A meeting was held last night (Monday 10 June) and another will be held on Friday 14 June, from 12-2pm at Harold Hill library.
