What do we do?

Camden Friends of the Earth is a local campaigning group and we campaign for solutions to environmental problems – for ACTION to create a fairer, better and greener borough for all the people of Camden. We have unrestricted creative freedom to create our own events and campaigns from scratch. Action is character. Be the change. 

We’re all volunteers and are active across the London Borough of Camden – we meet monthly, hold stalls at local festivals, community fairs and markets and organise creative, fun and sociable events, such as community clothes swaps and litter picks. 

As part of the wider network of over 200 local Friends of the Earth groups, we campaign on both local and national issues. We collaborate with other local groups and organisations, and provide feedback on council and MP decision-making to achieve positive change for our environment and the health and wellbeing of our communities.

Promise
Events Coordinator 

I joined the local Camden group because I’ve always enjoyed bringing people together to create meaningful experiences, and I’m excited to use that energy to support environmental initiatives here in Camden. I believe we should all be more conscious and intentional with how we live, and this group felt like the perfect way to turn those values into action. We’re a small group, but have some exciting campaigns and events planned for this year.


Jules
Volunteer Coordinator 

I’m a creative and innovative professional with a strong creative sense of content creation, digital marketing and social media, experience of volunteer, project and event coordination/management and working closely with start-ups and charities, the community, students and graduates, creative artists and volunteers. I love working with start-ups, charities and people who really believe in the work they’re doing and the change they’re trying to make and this is why I chose to join Camden Friends of the Earth. I’m also interested in environmental and sustainability issues and environmental justice.
Since I’ve joined I’ve been developing and implementing strategies to attract volunteers with diverse backgrounds and skills, raising the profile of the charity and their key campaigns, managing partnerships with London universities, building relationships with relevant local and external organisations and assisting with all aspects of event planning, promotion and management.


Evgenia
Events Coordinator 

I decided to volunteer as events coordinator because I love creating fun, interactive experiences and making sure people have a great time. If it’s for a good cause, so much the better!
In my free time, you’ll probably find me learning Arduino, practicing my Spanish (slowly but surely!), or hanging out on Twitch, checking out cool streams. I’m also into mystery novels and escape rooms. 
If you’re into self-improvement, event coordination, augmented reality, or gamification, let’s chat – I’m always up for a good conversation!

Favourite quote at the moment: “Do the thing you’re scared of. You’ll get the courage after you do it, not before.”


Anna
Writer

Hi, I’m Anna!
I am a recent graduate of History with Politics from the University of Portsmouth. I’ve been passionate about the importance of environmental issues since the beginning of the pandemic, when I had much more time to research and understand the status of our world around us. Since then, I have taken on many more environmentally conscious lifestyle choices, such as having a dairy free diet and reducing plastic in my life. I joined Camden Friends of the Earth to meet others passionate about this mission to protect our Earth and to put my writing skills to use that I have built through creating website petitions and research. 🙂


Aalia
Events Assistant

I joined Camden FOE to take my first step toward supporting environmental sustainability in London. I am in my second year at King’s College London and want to spend time outside of university doing something I am passionate about. I am interested in the bridge between the environment and society and engaging in community-based eco-friendly initiatives is the best way for me to learn more about this relationship.

I love meeting and socialising with everyone, so my role as events assistant is perfect!


Claire
Group Coordinator

I’m a recent Masters graduate, originally from Canada, who is passionate about pushing for environmental action. I joined Camden Friends of the Earth so that I could take action in my new community and meet like-minded people. With my background in global affairs, I help the group understand the big picture of environmental issues. In my free time I enjoy spending time in London’s beautiful green spaces and knitting. 


Paulina
Event Coordinator

I’m Paulina, a junior project manager specializing in sustainable fashion. I joined Camden FOE as an event coordinator because I love collaborating with like-minded people to bring impactful ideas to life. Passionate about sustainability and innovation, I actively volunteer with organizations that share the mission of driving positive change. I believe that collective action leads to real impact, and I’m grateful to contribute. In my free time, I enjoy sports, crafting, and traveling.


Halimah
Social Media Manager

I am passionate about bringing attention to environmental issues and leveraging my skills as a creative writing and literature student to create engaging content. My goal is to keep our community up-to-date with our events and to support our mission of achieving a greener Camden.  With my previous experience in social media management, I am confident in my ability to increase engagement and promote sustainable ways of living.

I am particularly an advocate for sustainable fashion, as we live in a society that practices fast fashion. I hope to see you all at the clothes swap events!

In my freetime, I love travelling to bookshops and exploring historical landscapes. I believe that it is essential to appreciate the beauty of this world in all forms and protect it.


Andreas
Graphic Designer

Hello, I’m Andreas! A creative and detail-oriented Graphic Designer specializing in photo-editing, editorial design, typography, and UI design. I enjoy collaborating in fast-paced environments and contributing to creative problem-solving. Strong organization helps me manage projects effectively, and I’m always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges.

I joined Camden Friends of the Earth because I believe in the power of community-driven action to address environmental challenges. Through my design work, I aim to create and collaborate on visually compelling campaigns and initiatives that draw attention to key environmental issues, inspire conversation, and encourage meaningful change. By working alongside a passionate team, I aim to help amplify our message and make sustainability a priority in our community.


Umberto
Group coordinator

I’m a proud Londoner who loves cycling.
Cycling is a good example of how you can feed two birds with one scone: Keeping yourself healthy and protecting the environment.
I see it the same way on a societal level. If we make choices that are better for the planet, they’re also better for our wellbeing as individuals and society.

What I don’t love are climate science denial and indifference, as well as governments who try to undermine democracy and basic human rights by trying to suppress the right to peaceful environmental protest and freedom of speech. And of course businesses and governments that put profit before planet.
There is no Planet B, unless you want to join Elon Musk to Mars. (No, thank you.)
