Grow Forests
Commit to a Greener Future
For corporations committed to making a long-term environmental impact, our "Forests" are organisations looking for the opportunity to engage in substantial donations. These strategic partnerships not only bolster our core funding but also play a crucial role in facilitating the delivery of long-term projects that significantly impact our community. Through their generous contributions, initiatives such as The Hackney Buzzline and our Community Garden Network are brought to life, fostering a stronger and more connected community. These partnerships enable us to offer forest school sessions, where children can learn about nature and sustainability hands-on, and provide environmental education at our Leaside setting, empowering the next generation with the knowledge and skills they need to care for our planet. By aligning with our mission, our partners help promote sustainable practices and environmental stewardship throughout the community.

“We chose ecoACTIVE as our environmental outreach partner because of their excellent work in schools and communal spaces, which aligns perfectly with our belief in educating and supporting the next generation and building community.”
