Think & Do Camden
People from all walks of life are coming together to address the climate crisis and inequality, to build a better future. If we act as individuals, it will be too little. But if we act as one big community, it may be enough and just in time.
Our mission is to design and implement creative solutions to local needs. Our aim is to deliver climate and social action projects co-designed by residents, for residents.
We are passionate about growing a community ecosystem of residents, schools, universities, businesses, councils, foundations etc, which is responsive to environmental and social injustice.
Climate and ecological justice are integral to what we do. They recognise the disproportionate impacts of climate change on several communities, which often places the burden on those who are least responsible for the problem. Part of our mission is also to help address inequality of opportunity.
The following pages are packed with information on our projects which aim to address the above. Want to join in the fun…? “
Testimonials
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 lesson Camden 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, Parliamentary Secretary at the Cabinet Office and MP for Queen’s Park and Maida Vale and formerly leader of Camden Council

Art ‘N Eat: Nature in the City
During this eight week course we will explore the creative ways of using both recycled and natural materials. The first four weeks will focus on working with recycled elements, while the second half of the course will turn to materials sourced directly from nature.
This Course takes “Nature in the City” beyond visible greenery in urban spaces. It challenges us to reconsider our role as inhabitants of the urban environment – seeing the city not only as a backdrop but as a source of inspiration and raw material.
By reimagining what is often overlooked—rubbish, weeds—we aim to uncover the artistic potential in our immediate surroundings. Through hands-on experimentation, participants will develop skills that foster a more sustainable and imaginative relationship with both natural and built environments. Ultimately, this course invites a dialogue between the organic and the man-made, inspiring a more symbiotic view of city life.
