Greener greenwich Community Network

The aim of GGCN is to provide a more coordinated local approach to scrutinising, working with and holding Greenwich Council to account for delivering successfully against its stated ambition to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030. Practically this includes attendance at relevant public meetings; review of written protocols, strategies and plans; preparing briefings ahead of key meetings; writing blogs oriented towards informing Greenwich residents, groups and businesses; and hosting educational meetings and workshops including Climate fresks. The network operates on the basis that a well-coordinated, cross local organisation, sustained constructive dialogue with the Council is an effective means of doing this. This dialogue will be both supportive and challenging in nature. We do this through public events and online meetings, talks, networking and education events, meetings with councillors, activity sessions and open days. We are looking into opportunities for opening a hub and are currently running a neighbourhood green spaces engagement project across Shooters Hill. We are open to collaborations and joint bids.

Our Tech Community Reuse and Recycling Project

Our Tech Recycling Project The Our Tech Recycling Project gives unwanted technology a second life while making it accessible to people and organisations that need it most. We collect redundant computers, laptops, tablets, mobile phones and other IT equipment from homes and businesses across London, Kent and the South East. Every device is professionally assessed, with all personal data securely erased using recognised data sanitisation procedures before any refurbishment takes place. Where possible, equipment is upgraded with new components such as solid-state drives (SSDs), memory and fresh operating systems to extend its working life. Devices that are beyond economical repair are responsibly recycled through authorised recycling partners, ensuring valuable materials are recovered and electronic waste is kept out of landfill. Refurbished devices are then donated or supplied at low cost to charities, schools, community groups, families and individuals who may otherwise struggle to access reliable technology. The project helps bridge the digital divide while reducing environmental impact and supporting a more circular economy. Alongside recycling, Our Tech also provides advice on sustainable technology choices, secure disposal of old equipment and environmentally responsible IT practices. Through partnerships with local organisations and community initiatives, the project has already diverted hundreds of devices from waste and put them back into productive use. By choosing Our Tech Recycling, businesses and households can be confident that their redundant technology is handled securely, ethically and sustainably—protecting sensitive information while creating positive social and environmental benefits.

The Green Skills Library

The Green Skills Library

Green Skills Library is a Maidenhead-based social enterprise with a simple but powerful idea at its heart: - reclaim materials, build skills, and connect neighbours. We believe that practical, hands-on activity in a welcoming space is one of the most effective antidotes to social isolation and environmental waste — and that the two challenges are better solved together than apart. Anyone can walk through the door — no prerequisites, no prior experience needed. Our workshops use materials rescued from the waste stream to teach repair, upcycling, and making. Participants leave not just with something they've created, but with greater confidence, new friendships, and a growing sense of purpose. We design our sessions from the ground up to be accessible and affirming for neurodivergent people, and young people who are NEET, and anyone who has ever felt that mainstream provision wasn't quite built for them. In 2025 alone, we reached over 1,300 people, ran 100 workshops, and diverted nearly a tonne of materials from waste. Our digital home, the Good Neighbourhood app, extends that same spirit of welcome into everyday neighbourhood life. It's not social media — there are no algorithms, no infinite scroll, no pressure. Instead, it's a calm, human-centred space where local people can find events, discover volunteering and skills opportunities, connect around shared interests, and look out for one another. Accessibility is built in from the ground up, and a "read before you enter" approach means people always know what they're joining before they do. Together, the physical hub and the app form two halves of the same community infrastructure — one where everyone, whoever they are, can feel they belong.
