About us

Sustainable Hatherleigh was launched in 2023, formerly the Hatherleigh Environmental Forum. We aim to foster ecological, sustainable, and environmental activities in Hatherleigh, provide a space for sharing environmental issues and good practices, and raise local environmental awareness.

What we do

Our activities include running a Repair Café, supporting wildlife, and promoting energy resilience. The Repair Café operates on the last Saturday of the month at Hatherleigh Community Centre, offering repairs for household items, sewing, computer repairs, electrical repairs, PAT testing, furniture repairs and bicycle repairs to prevent landfill waste.

We have an annual programme of wildlife activities including managing roadside verges, an autumn cut and rake of the churchyard wildflower areas, Himalayan balsam pulling and running wildlife themed activities at Hatherleigh Festival.

Our activities are run by volunteers and we welcome anyone who would like to help. We hold regular committee meetings where we discuss new initiatives that promote the environment and build a more sustainable future for Hatherleigh and the surrounding area.
