Adele Greaves, organiser for the Brighton group, said: “We came down here because we think mothers have the power to demand climate justice for everyone on the planet, especially children.

“We have had people chat with us and we have given some leaflets out.

“We met people we hadn’t met before who have come along.

“It has given us motivation to keep going and doing more events in the future.
