Friends of the Earth BIG ASK campaign
Camden FOE took part in the launch of the National FOE BIG ASK campaign. This is FOE's big climate change campaign that is asking "Is the Government doing enough on climate change?". We had local group members positioned at 3 locations in Camden and were successful in obtaining over 500 signatures for the campaign - the resounding view was no, the Government certainly isnt!

West Hampstead Local Food Festival
Camden Friends of the Earth launched the West Hampstead “Local Food Festival” in West End Lane.
The festival was a unique collaboration between West Hampstead cafes and restaurants, London Farmers’ Markets and the Camden Friends of the Earth Voluntary Group.
The week of events started on Wednesday 8th June with an event at West End Green with residents and restaurant-goers sampling and buying a great variety of local food, watching cookery demonstrations by a local chef, and enjoying live jazz.
10 local restaurants produced a local produce dish for the entire week, creating considerable interest amongst the West Hampstead community.
