A church in Watford is calling on the town to take climate action.

St Mary’s Church, in High Street, is holding a free conference on Saturday to encourage people to make a "real impact on the planet".

The event, Think Global: Act Local – Practical Action to Fix our Planet, will take place at the church from 10am.

It is designed to provide attendees with both theoretical knowledge and practical tips from "experts and practitioners" to help reduce their carbon footprints.

There will be workshops led by partners and an opportunity to network.
