Ealing’s first Climate Week will take place from 20 to 28 September , with more than 40 events scheduled across the borough. Under the theme Better Living, the programme aims to highlight everyday actions that support environmental sustainability while addressing cost-of-living pressures and community wellbeing.
The initiative includes a mix of workshops, community gatherings, and outdoor activities, many of which focus on resource-sharing, energy efficiency, and low-cost lifestyle changes. Events are being delivered by Ealing Council in partnership with local charities, resident groups, and voluntary organisations.
Among the scheduled activities are:
- A school uniform swap at the ReActon hub in Stirling Road, Acton (27 September), offering families a chance to exchange gently used clothing ahead of the new school term.
- The Ealing Park Ride (27 September), a guided cycle event for families and riders of all abilities, departing from Pitshanger Park and Churchfields Recreation Ground.
- An Ealing Repair Café (23 September), where residents can learn basic textile repair and upcycling techniques.
- Energy-saving advice sessions hosted by Southall Community Alliance (23 September) and an Energy Support Hub at Acton Baptist Church (20 September), providing information on grants and home efficiency measures.
In addition, local fitness groups GoodGym Ealing and We Run Ealing are organising a community run and walk, encouraging participants to donate unwanted running gear (excluding footwear) to Open Southall, which repurposes materials for creative projects.
Council Leader Peter Mason and Cabinet Member for Climate Action Paul Driscoll have both acknowledged the scale of community involvement in the programme, noting the role of volunteers, schools, and local businesses in shaping the event. While the council has promoted the week as an opportunity to improve health and reduce waste, the emphasis remains on practical, low-barrier participation.
Further details and updates are available via the council’s Do Something Good portal, where new events are being added throughout the month.
