Chosen in Community Investment category
The Action West London team celebrates its award
February 22, 2024
Acton-based community development organisation, Action West London, is celebrating after a win at the recent West London Business Awards.
The awards ceremony was held at Twickenham Stadium on Friday 16 February and the judges picked Action West London for the Community Investment Award due to its work with the innovative Reduce & Recycle Hub.
This initiative aims to tackle multiple challenges simultaneously, diverting tons of waste from landfills by promoting reuse and repair, while also providing residents with access to affordable essential goods and educational workshops. Additionally, the Hub provides volunteer opportunities which teach skills and fostering a sense of community. The overall intention is to foster the growth of a circular economy in the area, one of the core commitments of the organisation.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this award,” said Gary Buckley, CEO of Action West London. “It’s a powerful validation of the positive impact our work in the community. This award belongs to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and residents who all play a crucial role our success.”
Action West London is hoping that the increased visibility and recognition that comes with the ward will amplify the Hub’s impact, attracting more residents, partners, and funding opportunities.
It will also give staff extra motivation and increase its ability to advocate for police change.
