Think & Do


The deeply inclusive work of Think & Do is exemplary, and in these times where the need to build an imagination infrastructure is ever more evident, the lessons Think & Do can teach the wider country are more needed than ever.
• Rob Hopkins, Founder of Transition Town movement

Paraphrased quote:
Think & Do have become such an important leader in ensuring all residents have the opportunity and agency to shape their lives where they live. Sharing Spaces epitomise everything citizen participation should represent: listening to communities, building from the strengths that exist and creating the space to imagine and enact the futures they want to see. The scale of challenges like the Climate Crisis requires work like this to be happening across society and so I’d absolutely love to see the energy we’ve seen from Camden’s Sharing Spaces spreading across London, allowing us as a city to shape the collective future that we want to see.”
• Georgia Gould, Minister of State in the Department for Education, MP for Queen’s Park and Maida Vale and formerly leader of Camden Council

We’re excited to be launching our new Clean Air Rangers (CARs) workshops to empower Somers Town residents to improve their indoor air quality. Residents attended a 45-minute workshop to learn about the causes of poor air quality at home and at work, how it can affect our health and comfort, and what we can do about it!
