Hackney Environment Forum

Hackney Environment Forum (HEF) is a network of groups and individuals committed to protecting and enhancing Hackney’s built and natural environment.

HEF works to:

Raise awareness of environmental issues and solutions to problems.
Promote communication between local groups and individuals with an interest in sustainability and environmental issues
Campaign against threats to Hackney’s environment which detract from the quality of life for local people
Provide a point of contact and help groups and individuals to get involved in environmental action
Set up meetings to bring groups and individual together around environmental and sustainability issues
To encourage local authorities, statutory and voluntary bodies and businesses to develop and implement good environmental policies

HEF helped to set up Hackney Environment Network (HEN) in 2009, and to secure representation on Hackney's Community Empowerment Network (CEN), and is now working with HEN to merge the two environmental umbrella networks. The new organisation formed by the merger will be called Sustainable Hackney. If you'd like to get involved, please email.
