We are a not-for-profit community group set up as an unincorporated association.
Formed in March 2020, we aim to:
Protect, restore and develop interest in local nature and biodiversity
Develop a variety of community growing spaces from which we can provide access to locally-grown, chemical-free produce and emphasise the importance of food security
Provide local support, education and options to reduce, reuse and recycle, including a local repair cafe
Lobby for and promote improved local public transport, cycling and walking options
Support community energy and energy-efficiency schemes
Address the local impact of climate change (e.g. flooding) in Purley on Thames
Support the community to live more sustainably, including community groups and individuals through in person and online activities
Engage and involve the entire local community to thrive, through local events and activities ensuring diversity and inclusion
