Things you can do to help

Volunteering with GH is a fantastic way to make a difference for the environment while also gaining experiences. As a volunteer, you'll have the chance to develop new skills, connect with others who share your passion, and have a impact on your community. Additionally you'll be contributing to a vital and urgent cause. So why not join us and see what you can accomplish?

Organising your community is essential to creating lasting local change. By working together, you can create a supportive environment that benefits everyone involved. Start with starting a message group where you can ask each other for advice, ask for help, notify each other of things going on in your neighbourhood and ask to borrow tools etc. 

Tell your community, friends and family about GreenHorizon, what we stand for and hope to achieve. It's important for people to be able to imagine a better way of life. We want to see a peaceful sustainable world within our lifetime, starting here in the UK. 

Once you've gotten your community together and built some trust, you can start things like a community meal swap or kitchen. We all have to cook every day anyway so by pooling resources and sharing the workload, you can create a space where people can come together to cook, eat, and socialise. Whether you're looking to provide meals for those in need or simply create a space for people to connect, a community kitchen is a wonderful way to make a positive impact.

It's important to keep an eye out for those who are vulnerable in your community. Whether it's an elderly neighbour, pregnant women, someone recovering from injury, or someone with a health condition, a small gesture like a phone call, planned visit, or message asking if they need anything can go a long way and mean a lot.

If you're interested in keeping housing affordable and giving the community a voice in land use, then starting a community land trust might be the perfect solution! By working together and combining resources, you and your friends or community members create a sustainable and just way to own land. There are many resources out there to help you get on this exciting path
