Clean Air Day And Renewed Partnership With Zipcar

Join us on June 15, 2023, as we celebrate Clean Air Day, an annual event raising awareness of the importance of clean air for our well-being and the environment, with a focus this year on cleaning up air and looking after our minds. We hope this day inspires individuals, communities, and organisations to take action in reducing air pollution and improving air quality.

To mark Clean Air Day we're excited to announce our continued partnership with Zipcar for a second year. As the car-sharing club in London with the largest amount of fully electric vehicles (over 1,000!), Zipcar plans to donate for every mile driven in a fully electric car on Clean Air Day this year to encourage members to make their journeys more sustainable. With Zipcar's ongoing support, we're able to grow our work at the Brixton Orchard project in South London, alongside the continued support of the Brixton Bid, who initiated the Orchard's creation a few years ago.

Partnering with Zipcar brings additional resources to engage local non-profit groups and expand our gardening activities, education programmes and community connection. We will be able to broaden our impact and continue to ensure that local groups, especially those who may be underrepresented, have access to and benefit from engaging with nature at our site. 

We're excited for this journey, working towards a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future for Brixton and beyond. We welcome your suggestions and recommendations for community groups in South London that you believe would benefit from our program. They can sign up for complimentary gardening workshops at the Brixton Orchard. We value your input and look forward to expanding our reach to serve more communities.

Stay tuned for updates on our progress and upcoming initiatives. Let's make a positive impact on the environment, the community's mental health and inspire others to join us!
