The Council is committed to empowering Hounslow’s communities to make a real difference to our borough and beyond.
Help us create a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Hounslow by volunteering alongside like-minded champions of the environment.
By joining the Environmental Champions volunteer group, you’ll be working together with other residents to create a greener and healthier Hounslow, and helping us on our journey to net zero. As a key member of the Green community, you will use also your knowledge of local areas to be a leader for driving community change through hands-on climate action.
Alongside our partners Groundwork London, the Council puts on weekly and monthly events for its environmental volunteers. Activities include:
- Tree planting and watering
- Growing fruit and vegetables
- Creating wildflower meadows and homes for wildlife
- Litter picking
- Horticulture training sessions
- Weekly meet-ups and monthly events
