Arcadia 2026

Arcadia is back, bigger and bolder than before.

As part of a London-wide partnership, Climatekind, we’re bringing Londoners together to get involved in actions that improve their mental health and local area, and that foster stronger community.

Because we believe there are positive actions we can take to address today’s issues of climate change, biodiversity loss and social inequality.

Stanley Arts is here to help our local community lead the change.

Throughout the year we’re hosting regular climate cafes, seasonal outdoor activities, community gatherings and an arts festival to help create a healthier, fairer, and more climate-resilient London.

Climatekind partners include Thrive LDN, Black Thrive, Climate Outreach, Stanley Arts, Living Proof, London Arts and Health, King’s College London, Clean Slate, and Hammersmith, Fulham, Ealing and Hounslow Mind.

Frankie Skrzypczyk

Hello, I am Frankie, I am a 21 year old lesbian autistic non-binary person. I have always loved the environment and how impactful we need it in our lives. I loved going on nature walks and camping whenever I was younger and I have always loved the ocean and sea animals. However I always hated how this world treated our planet I never understood how people could be so mean to a planet that was given us life, I want to make a change in this world and I believe that takes people talking for a planet that can’t do it for themselves
