Our Vision

Walking on Dunstable DownsWe work towards a vision – of a society of sustainable communities which are vibrant, healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper.

Creating those sustainable communities means developing initiatives which cut across economics, social issues and the environment. Our work is diverse, but all of it helps to achieve our vision.

We know we’ll never achieve our vision without working together with passionate individuals, proactive public services and innovative parts of the private sector.

In the East of England, the drivers that influence our work are centred on helping communities, whether business or residential, be resilient to the impacts of climate change; reducing their use of finite resources; providing support to communities to improve their local environment and encouraging all age groups to interact with and engage with green space, through healthy activity, green jobs and education initiatives.
