Greener and Cleaner grew out of the community. It was started in 2019 by a group of passionate and ambitious local residents in Bromley to activate local people in response to the environmental challenges that our planet faces.
We are a truly grassroots organisation, having been initiated, and mostly run, by volunteers to date, with events and activities co-produced with our wider community. We are committed to working in collaboration, growing together, improving our neighbourhood, and lowering impact. In 2021 we achieved charity status and have now grown to over 7,000 members and around 90 volunteers who regularly give up their time to teach, help, and deliver impactful activities.
At the heart of our work, we are seeking to:
- Ensure that sustainable living is popularised and normalised for all groups and demographics, not just some, and all understand the benefits for them.
- Engage in outreach, co-design, and research to ensure that all groups understand and have the skills needed to engage with sustainable living and its wellbeing, cost saving, and community building co-benefits.
- Ensure that all groups, including hard-to-reach or marginalised groups, are empowered to use their voices as well as those choices.
We are an ambitious group determined to make measurable and lasting impacts.
