Greenprint for Hackney

Our vision is a borough whose residents can earn their living, buy what they need and do most of their shopping locally. These needs are met by local companies, particularly co-operatives and social enterprises, who reinvest in the community and are sustainable.

Our work

• We supported the development of Hackney's first energy co-op through our involvement in Hackney Energy
• We supported the development of a town centre plan for Dalston
• We created a map of local green businesses
• We developed a vision for a sustainable local economy - the Greenprint for Hackney
