Hadleigh Environmental Action Team

Helping everyone in Hadleigh do their bit for the environment

About HEAT

HEAT aims to help people, organisations and businesses in Hadleigh to take climate change and loss of biodiversity into account in all their decisions.

We do this through a range of practical projects and by promoting discussion of these issues.

Sign up to be a member of HEAT or just come along to one of our regular activities and have a chat. We now have almost 200 members. HEAT’s activities reflect the priorities and interests of our members and the local community.

HEAT is run by a core group of six to eight people who plan what we do and organise events, secure funding and lead projects.

We are a broad church, welcoming different views whilst united in a concern for the climate and the environment. We involve local experts (professionals and amateur) who bring expertise in climate change, ecology and botany and policy making.

HEAT participates in the monthly Hadleigh Community Forum and works with Hadleigh Town Council.

During 2022 HEAT received 5 grants from the town council and local charities to support our work.

HEAT is not affiliated to any political party and welcomes support from any organisation that supports its aims. We have engaged with Friends of the Earth, River Fly, The Green Party and other national groups where helpful to our causes.
