Northumberland Green Hub is a growing and enthusiastic community that’s all about making a difference. Our aim is to make it easy to share knowledge and resources, publicise events, find funding, work together and get mutual support.
We formed NGH in September 2023, inspired by a workshop with individuals and community groups active in climate change, the environment and sustainability.
Members can join our Community Events, receive our Monthly Digest and be part of our Special Interest Groups.
Membership is FREE. Most of our members are based in north Northumberland – but wherever you are, you’re welcome to join!
NGH is run by a Steering Group of six volunteers. The current members of the Steering Group are:
