HELP Your Community
Creating a lasting impact
For more than three decades, we’ve worked alongside communities across the region to help people live healthier, happier and more sustainable lives.
Originally established as Middlesbrough Environment City in 1992, our organisation began with a focus on environmental sustainability, community action and inspiring people to care for the world around them.
Our story is closely connected to Nature’s World in Acklam, the pioneering environmental centre that became home to many of our early activities and ambitions.
