At Greener Henley, we believe real climate and nature action starts close to home — with clean air and water, a thriving natural world, a healthy, safe future for our children, and a town we’re proud to call home.
We’re a UK-registered charity helping our community take practical, positive steps to protect what matters most. Read more about our transition to charity status here
Nature is in free-fall and the climate is warming, but it’s not too late to turn things around. Our goal is a Henley that’s:
- SAFER (by building resilience to climate impacts)
- CLEANER (by cutting pollution), and
- GREENER (by restoring wildlife and helping nature recover).
Our 2025–28 Plan sets out how we’ll engage 5,000 people — around 25% of our population — to help drive lasting, visible change.
