Our mission is to inspire the people of Stroud District to cherish, care for and repair their local environment for everyone’s benefit.

However, STROUD VALLEYS PROJECT (SVP) is in TROUBLE!  Please see our Appeal page at

www.stroudvalleysproject.org/appeal

for more information.

SVP is a community development charity which operates throughout the whole of the Stroud District in Gloucestershire. Our focus is to translate international and national policies and targets into practical action at the local level, bringing about sustainable development.

We aim to give local people the knowledge and skills to create solutions to environmental problems and to then put those solutions into practise. SVP’s experienced staff train, advise and work alongside community groups and volunteers to identify the environmental issues that concern them, and then develop their ideas into action plans and work programmes. Examples of help we provide include :

• finding money
• publicising the work
• recruiting more volunteers
• advice on setting up and running groups
• bringing in the experience of other community groups around the country

Mobile phone recycling helps us raise funds and reduces the pollution to our environment - for a Freepost envelope, email your address to Carolyn.  Many thanks.

A few of the many examples of the practical action resulting from the partnerships between SVP and local communities include:

• protecting and enhancing the biodiversity of their neighbourhoods and parishes
• adopting sustainable energy use
• creating innovative ways of encouraging people to recycle, re-use and reduce waste, an example of which is EcoWorks, for a More Sustainable Office link to EcoWorks here
• helping new initiatives such as the Stroud Community Land Trust, Stroud Farmers Market, Stroud Landscape Partnership, Energy 21, and Touchwood to get started and flourish.
