Welcome to Hyde Farm Climate Action Network                                         
                                    Hyde Farm CAN!
 
Hyde Farm Climate Action Network is a network of residents who live on or near the Hyde Farm estate in London SW12, who want to reduce their impact on the environment.  The objectives of the non party-political Group are:
 
To work together to find ways to reduce our carbon emissions in our homes, with our food and consumer choices and when we travel
 
To find ways of working together that are practical, fun and effective
 
To share our interests and resources to achieve more together
 
To use the network as an opportunity to develop a greater sense of community recognising that being part of a strong community can help reduce our carbon emissions further
 
To inspire and support other communities to achieve similar aims

Due to amount of interest the venue is changed to

still at 7.30 pm for 8pm.

 

 

December 2009: we won £100,000 funding from British Gas to provide homes in Hyde Farm with insulation or renewable energy, as well as renewable energy generation for Henry Cavendish School.  A welcome boost for all our efforts and a good opportunity to help the community lower our carbon emissions and energy bills. Santa Claus has been to Hyde Farm in Balham which means that you could get £2,000 to insulate your home or, if you've already done that, you could get £5,000, to install solar panels.

 

Profit from significantly lower energy bills in the future!
