Meet the communities Breaking Ground | Hubbub | Campaigns

Throughout London, and in many other parts of the UK, people on lower incomes and people of colour are disproportionately affected by issues such as poor air quality, lack of access to green space, overheating and flash flooding. These communities are also often left out of environmental discussions and decision making. So last year we launched Breaking Ground: a programme of mentoring and grants funded by our partners, GLA and City Bridge Foundation, to support community-led projects in the London boroughs of Camden, Ealing, Greenwich, and Newham. These projects bring social and environmental benefits to local neighbourhoods, designed and led by the people who live there. Green spaces and nature can help our cities cope with floods and heatwaves, and spending time in nature has also been shown to improve mental and physical health. Breaking Ground has also shown that bringing neighbours together to transform an underused green space can be a powerful way to build resilience, strengthen communities and create positive change. Next year, we're excited to bring Breaking Ground to Tower Hamlets with the support of the Climate Action Fund. We want to replicate the success seen across the four projects and create a model that can be used to address environmental inequalities and barriers to participation in climate action in underserved and underrepresented communities.
