Welcome to HEAT

The Hadleigh Environmental Action Team was set up 5 years ago, and today we have over 300 supporters.

HEAT is working to help people and organisations in Hadleigh (Suffolk) to always take climate change, and the resilience of the natural world, into account when they make decisions. HEAT is run by a core group of six to eight people who plan what we do and organise events, secure funding and lead projects.

We welcome different views whilst remaining united in a concern for the climate and the environment. We involve local experts (professionals and amateur) who bring expertise in climate change, ecology and botany and policy making.

HEAT participates in the monthly Hadleigh Community Forum and works with Hadleigh Town Council, Babergh District Council, Suffolk Climate Partnership and many other local organisations. We also have a stand at the annual Hadleigh Show in May and a monthly update in the Hadleigh Community News.

In May 2024, HEAT became a Community Interest Company (CIC) which means that we can apply for larger amounts of funding from places like The Lottery. It will mean we will change as an organisation, with subscribing members and directors, and will enable us to take on bigger community projects.
