Chair of Trustees: Newly Merged Environment Trust and South West London Environment Network

Editor News, Vacancies

The wonderful natural assets and rich heritage of South West London are under threat. The rivers, green spaces, parks and the historic fabric of the built environment is suffering from the impact of climate change, habitat destruction, commercial development and declining public sector budgets. The organisations believe that everyone in their diverse communities should have access to and be able to engage with the beautiful places in their neighbourhood. Everyone should feel connected to their environment, proud of where they live and empowered to play their part in looking after it.

They envisage a new charity reshaping the environmental and heritage voluntary sector in South West London that will foster a strong sense of place embracing built and natural heritage for the long-term sustainability of our shared assets, and work to put these at the heart of their community by engaging and empowering local people for the well-being of all.

The new organisation will work and collaborate across organisational and local authority boundaries and systems. They will measurably increase their impact for people and their heritage by increasing our effectiveness, organisational sustainability and the use of their resources to deliver on this vision and mission.
