ActForEaling was set up in the Summer of 2020 when a small group of Ealing’s community began meeting to discuss local climate action. As discussions progressed, the group realised just how dense the web of climate action was in Ealing, and how much potential there was to grow connection and involvement together. The council’s climate strategy of net zero by 2030 could only be realised with community support. It was agreed that Ealing could achieve positive progress with community engagement but could achieve positive transformation with community ownership.

Grove Farm is a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) and a Statutory Local Nature Reserve (LNR). It is a hidden urban gem which provides a biodiverse natural space in North Greenford. The deciduous woodland on Grove Farm contains broadleaf trees such as oak, ash, elm, hazel and blackthorn. Grove Farm has a particularly magnificent display of wood anemones in spring as well as native bluebells. It has rare trees including many wild service trees. All these species are indicators of ancient woodland. A stream runs along a valley through the site adding to its nature conservation interest.

Ealing Parks Foundation
Ealing Parks Foundation (EPF) is a charitable organisation (Charity No 1195171), operating since January 2020. The Foundation was initially sponsored by the Parks Department of Ealing Council, who conducted the search for Trustees. Now well established, it is an independent organisation with all of its Trustees from the local community.
We are neighbours in West London transforming unused and unloved plots of land in West Ealing to bring new, green life into these spaces.
Our aim is to create habitats that promote biodiversity and climate resilience and spark connections with nature and our community.
Ultimately, we seek to make West Ealing more beautiful, healthy, safe, and inclusive.
Southall Community Alliance (SCA), a registered charity, is leading this transformative urban garden project in Western Road, and EPF is proud to be part of the project along with the help and support of other local groups and organisations. This includes Ealing Council, Southall Transition, Ealing Allotments Partnership, Feeding Ealing and LAGER Can.
