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

Trash to Treasure

Calling all young people of Somers Town!

The UK is one of the largest producers of e-waste. When unwanted electronics are discarded, they get dumped in landfill, and toxic substances can contaminate our soil and water.

This summer, we’re tackling this in Camden by turning Trash 2 Treasure! We’re paying young people to find discarded appliances and snap some arty photos. These photos will be exhibited at Somers Town Festival, where the appliances will be repaired and given new life!

Together, let’s help stop e-waste in Somers Town and turn Trash to Treasure!
